Not really, once you are up and running even then the economics of cloud are usually better than self host. Instance time is 10x more costly on AWS than self host, but, it's still very cheap.
Things like 'egress data' can be a problem, but for the most part, even if AWS is more expensive than self hoste - the 'total cost of ownership' is much cheaper in the cloud - usually.
- sitkack 3y agoWhere a company puts the bulk of its resources, that is up to them for whatever reasons they have. I am not arguing against that. What I am arguing for is that you every company needs to have >1u running in a colo, with hardware that is largely theirs. Every company I have ever worked would be in the >=1rack range. I will only address TC comments with supporting numbers. Just math, no boogeymen.
