Yes. Because I intentionally design systems to avoid vendor lock-in by, at the very least, including a plan to export data and keep IaC in a repo so that it can be used to redeploy at either another vendor or colo-based servers.
Here's some good tools to do so:
There's a ton of other possibilities but FOSS and source-availabile licensed software makes it pretty straightforward (though still time-consuming as no infra is fully cloud agnostic due to non-standardization between the big three in infra primitives).
so, how many clicks is that?
That wasn't in the initial reqs. And, supposing the hardware was good to go, about the same as AWS.
ETA: The time/click savings is more likely to be in maintenance because using a cloud service is just paying someone else to do that for you.
