If you manage some legacy systems, as I do, you will find that Cloud is very useful for automation, CI, and dev environments, why? Well, create scripts to build Window servers created with custom images is actually a big deal, so: - disaster recovery is the first thing you should have in mind, where is the second. - the right strategy is to preserve the business, not going to the cloud. I always had fun building my own environments. After the fun came the work and, economically speaking, managing and maintaining those environments has always been an advantage for me. If however, I consider the time it takes to understand and fix problems in VMWare, or SQL optimization, or configure Microsoft AD, Nginx, and others..., I don't know how much I would recommend building everything from scratch by renting some servers.
