> Oh really? Ever try building, staffing, powering, cooling and equipping a data center? And then build a DR? Let me tell you, my company has foolishly done that just in the past ten years and WE are screaming uncle! We're now transitioning to AWS because it's much, much, much cheaper! Since most of my career postdates and predates renting capacity on someone else's computer, yes, have done that many times. Would be great to publish a case study on your experience, would love to understand the numbers. While for some rare scenarios AWS can be cheaper, for just about any use case it's going to be much more expensive than running your own.
