AWS is the best in the game and you pay a little extra for it. If you ask me I think it's worth it. I wouldn't waste a single cycles migrating to another cloud providing to save a little money. In the end it simply won't be worth the time and you'll miss running on AWS's mature platform. Instead, I would focus on getting your app working perfectly within linux containers. Use some existing tools such as swarm, CoreOS, or Tutum[0]. Once you have your app properly containerized, you'll be able to quickly move between clouds or even utilize multiple clouds (provided you have the time or experience to maintain the network). The only way you'll save significant money is if you're willing to put up the resources to run your own prem, and I would strongly discourage you from doing that.
