unless you want to grow an operationally excellent and well staffed org, control plane should probably be public cloud. cost plane, whether it be heavy on bytes at rest, bytes in flight, or compute, could possibly be private cloud. scale to zero is something not possible without public cloud. it opens interesting doors like services priced cost plus. what if zero usage had zero cost? what is all usage was profitable? from the perspective of an individual customer and assuming light egress, lambda, ec2 spot, and s3 are shockingly affordable. heavy egress is where you maybe do something else with the cost plane. that could be private cloud, or cloudflare et al.
