I see great future for companies like Hetzner which are providing dedicated hardware with reasonable prices. While Amazon and Azure are making the live of virtual server providers difficult, I believe it is harder for them to compete with companies like Hetzner without eating their own business.
What these companies need are just additional services and nice management tools which make the whole dedicated server and network stuff look more like what we see on AWS or Azure.
My assumption is that at some point more people will come to the conclusion that part of their workloads such actually run on cheap dedicated hardware. On Hetzner €60/month buys you 4 cores, 32GB, 480GB SSD, 30TB traffic. Compare that to Azure A2, which at €64/month gives you 2 cores, 3.5GB, 60GB.
