In my experience using containers has removed requirements for additional engineering cost to deploy between providers because a container is the same wherever it’s running, and all the providers will offer container hosting, and most offer cluster private networking.
Deployment is simplified using something like octopus which can deploy to many destinations in a blue-green fashion with easy rollback.
Containers are nice, but don’t really cover things like firewalls, network configuration, identity management, and a whole host of other things, the configuration of which varies between providers.
