I know AWS is the most used cloud platform among the many out there. But wouldn't you be missing on really talented people that have only worked on Azure or Google Cloud for say 10 years? Or is it the expectation that any OPs engineer should know the fundamentals of all the big players?
If my environment is AWS and someone has experience with GCP I’ll pass in favor of someone who knows AWS. The concepts are the same but the day to day is quite different.

I would say the skills are largely transferrable as the product offerings are analogous in many cases.

GCP and Azure is fine, although I hope they would take the time to learn AWS lingo.
