RISC V making its way into proper server platforms is a huge milestone. The open architecture could eventually disrupt the current vendor lock in we see in cloud data centers.

Which axis of vendor lock in are you seeing possibly being disrupted by this? x86 is rather dominant, though ARM is making a play. RISC V just means AWS offers a different ISA on compute, you'd still be vendor lock-in'd to AWS/whomever. Or I'm totally not getting it.
