Sure: "The cloud doesn't solve common IT problems, only shifts them around, and makes some problems worse, such as more vendor-dependency. If you hire amateurs, you get amateurish results. Renting cloud-based amateurs has all the same problems as in-house (internal) amateurs."

It's just more outsourcing. It comes with scale and as cancer it is just a reality. Eventually it will have to be burned down.

It’s not like on prem server administrators have a great track record when it comes to security.
