AWS embraces multi-cloud as developers drift toward abstraction layers

After years of rejecting multi-cloud, AWS now supports direct interconnects with Google Cloud and soon Azure, reflecting customer pressure rather than strategic conversion. While hyperscaler rivalry continues, a quieter shift matters more: developers increasingly deploy through platforms like Vercel or Netlify, not AWS itself. As infrastructure fades into the background, AWS risks becoming essential plumbing—profitable, powerful, and largely invisible.
