What does that have to do with the cloud? A company where the "cost of IT is more expensive than the revenue" or has "needless complexity" is making bad decisions and will execute poorly whether it's cloud infrastructure or internal systems. But if you need a server then (in most companies big and small) it's far easier to spin up a VPS in the cloud than deal with internal IT. > "I didn't state that cost is the same thing as value?" You're arguing over cost, but the cloud is often much greater value compared to traditional IT. Spending 2x for 5x more value is a valid decision. If it doesn't work in your situation then don't do it, but it's not the same answer for everyone.
