I've seen companies host a ton of tiny web sites, each in their own AWS account, replicating the same infrastructure N times. Tons of overhead. Total costs is many times what it would cost to host on a few mid range servers in a colo. But, it's "secure" and "scalable". Actual utilization is single digit requests/second, summed across all the sites, on a good day.

The cloud providers continue feed our industry that FUD so companies feel using their services is the best and only option.
