the biggest thing in the cloud is storage and managed databases. replacing a dead server with s3 is super easy. managing a database server can be challening aswell. if you have one node you still need to do backups and s3 is just way easier. also when you abstract your storage your application has a way better structure. I already refactored tons of applications where System.IO or java.io were all over the place. with object storage from the start, you barely run into that problem.
