It seems that most of the people saying that cloud hosting is expensive have never run into the issues of making their own SAN, managing the provisioning of 20 different teams, etc. The organizational complexity and specialist knowledge is mind-boggling and there is zero chance that your in-house knowledge is better than what Amazon can provide.
