    Moving to the cloud was easy; getting out is the hard part. In SUDO Show 74, Bill, Neal, and Noel dig into “The Great Cloud Breakup” and why more teams are rethinking cloud‑first dogma as exit fees rise and data residency laws go live across the US, EU, UK, and beyond. They talk through how modern Linux, NVMe‑over‑Fabrics, and on‑prem hardware make repatriation realistic again, spotlight rclone and Nick Craig‑Wood for making data movement sane, and share hard‑won stories about ugly data transfers and hybrid architectures. The episode wraps with a tongue‑in‑cheek “repatriate AWS onto three Raspberry Pis” action item and a NetHogs quick fix you can run today to catch chatty services before egress fees blow up your budget.
