>"There's less red tape to getting infrastructure provisioned" Because companies do not like things going into assets category. Instead rent dedicated servers on Hetzner or wherever else it is price competitive and see red tape disappear. >"So there's an incentive for developers to push to use a cloud so they can grow into their next role." This is very lame argument. I am developer and a business and do understand both sides but sorry I run a business to make money, not to give them to Amazon and definitely not to be playground where developers can play with Amazon tech at owner's expense.
