The real business case for the cloud is it replaces capex with opex. Which is great if you have limited capital (bootstrapping, new startup, etc), or are the CEO of a large company that wants to show better cash flow to earn a larger bonus. In reality, the idea that the cloud somehow means you can outsource your infrastructure team rarely works out in practice. At best you’ll get much more expensive developers having to spend time on infrastructure which might look like a couple of fewer salaries to pay, but you’re likely now paying for it through dev time anyways.
