  Is Azure ever actually a bargain without an MSDN subscription? Seems AWS and Google Cloud are cheaper?

    Definitely can be. Certainly last year, though all of their pricing went up at the start of the year.

    Need to take pre-pay discounts and Enterprise Agreements into account as they can bring the costs down considerably. Also Enterprise Dev/Test pricing (though in this case you will need a non-MSDN Visual Studio Subscription for each developer (arguing the non-MSDN thing with Microsoft currently, as a developer in a consultancy it doesn't make much sense).

  Azure Serverless seems only stick on a single platform, therefore time spend on to invest and learn might be a bit narrow, especially the future version might not backward compatible or they simply dropped it like other projects.

    Not sure what you are specifically referencing, Azure functions?

    In which case you have a choice of:
    c#, JS, F#, Java or Python

    Also the Azure Functions runtime can be hosted on premise. And is open-source.

    Logic Apps now underpins O365/Flow so it's not going anywhere for at least 10 years.

    Container services could easily be swapped to an alternate orchestrator/environment.

    As long as you stick to released features (keep away from experimental ones) you should be pretty safe.
