This type of thing scares the shit out of me everytime using cloud. The possibility of something idiotic happening and me losing my life savings is just too high.
That's why I use a cloud provider that doesn't charge for bandwidth usage and I use a fixed set of "stuff" such that I always know what my fee's should be.
I understand for big companies with millions of users they can't operate in that way but for me risk vs reward is too high.

If anything, big companies have more resources to build their own cloud based on on-prem or rented bare-metal than smaller companies. It's just all cargo-culting. The "cloud" is not some kind of unobtanium hardware you absolutely can't get anywhere. With rare exceptions, it's standard hardware you can buy directly from any server & network equipment manufacturer.
