Networking and storage have been traditionally the biggest differences with cloud vs. on prem. Bandwidth and latency has been quite variable on AWS. Disk I/O and IOPS sucked for many years.
That said in recent years it's much less of a problem , though the fixes tend to require a lot more expenditure for provisioned IOPS, dedicated hardware instances and 10 gigE network instances. But then nearly any legacy shit app can run in AWS ...unless it needs some crazy specific configs like live hardware assisted disk replication, or VMware FT levels of resilience.
