The article is paywalled but I would imagine DigitalOcean is screwed for many of the same reasons.
As things do in our industry, I fully expect cloud computing to die out in lieu of an “on-prem renaissance” where companies realize they can floor on-prem servers 24/7 for a one-time* cost instead of AWS nickel-and-diming for every little thing. It’s clear AWS (and Azure) are anticipating this because all their new stuff is very AWS-specific or very Azure-specific. God it would be basically impossible for my company to move away from AWS to another cloud, nevermind back to on-prem. Even AWS’s ElasticSearch aaS (OpenSearch) is diverging from ElasticSearch proper. AWS could double prices overnight and my company would pay it.
