They are all about profits from inertia. I’m seeing organizations migrate to the cloud lured by low initial upfront cost that increase once they have completed their migration. When the real bills come in people do hand waving and say the increased cost are negated by “agility.” And don’t even think about migrating out of a cloud provider...you will have to beg for permission. There are a lot of benefits to migrating to the cloud, in my experience, cost isn’t one of them. Unless of course you are mucking around with accounting tricks by cutting employees and moving that cost to services or cost of goods sold, I’m not a expert in this, but it works and will save you money because you can control these expenses more easily and because of how payroll vs services are accounted for.
