I literally rolled my eyes reading that. How do you think we did before cloud computing?
I am currently in charge of multiple teams scaling and deploying innovative applications for a large industrial company. We are using Azure for everything. Our cloud costs are insane for our number of users. I used to manage applications with ten times more user for one hundredth of the cost and less complexity. It’s billed to another part of the company which is responsible for this dubious choice (I really hope someone is getting nice business trips paid by MS so it’s not a complete waste) so I don’t care but how people can blindly put faith in the cloud is beside me.
