I have a bullet proof plan to earn a $10m bonus in my two years as CTO at <Large Firm>:
1. Identify retarded firm that uses AWS or Azure like money grows on trees AND without too much AWS lock-in
2. Join as CTO and move infra to OVH
(2.1 Convince OVH to not irritate international customers by making my browser show "Translate this page?" for EVERY SINGLE page, even on us.ovhcloud.com, because they HAVE to show their French lineage at all times instead of just having English pages in English! They've already improved their Customer Service a lot, so I have great hopes)
3. Reduce server costs by 4X
4. Profit!
Seriously. Unless you really need auto-scaling or one of the other unique features of AWS / Azure products, you don't need to pretend you're the next Facebook or Netflix.
Also seriously: de-cloudification is a great business idea.
