All I've been saying on lwn.net is add some flexibility to what you are deploying.

Let's say you want to have an automated deployment of something on VMs on AWS. Use the AWS API to automatically create and start VMs, instead of using the auto-scaling groups and tying yourself to the cloud provider.

Now if you only depend on an API to create VMs if you want to use Digital Ocean instead of AWS you pretty easily do that.

Yes, the key is to embrace the cloud to take in short term advantage of the skills that a market leader possess but make sure that long-term harm from that leader diapering (court order, state-sponsored targeted hacking etc.) with all the data and services is limited, like having a working backup and deployments scripts for a new provider ready.
