I think there are ton of great use cases for the cloud, but people should try and think for themselves and decide if their circumstances and workload is really a good fit. A ton of people forget that a bunch of servers across a few colocations can pay for itself in months, especially if you go for second-hand gear that is dirt cheap. Again, going (back) to colocating hardware could not be good fit. But with modern management tools and datacenter services like 'remote hands' I think people should not reject it upfront.
