Disclaimer: Former AWS consultant from banking/Wall St.
It's been a big "duh" for 20+ years. Large-scale, consistent loads aren't suited to cloud infrastructure. Mostly its shops that don't care about costs, don't know any better, or lack technical capabilities outsource most of their infrastructure.
The use-cases for *aaS are:
- Early startups
- Beginning projects
- Prototyping
- Peaky loads on-demand or one-of
- Evade corporate IT department
AWS and VPSes can also be ill-suited for personal use if you live in a major city with bottom tier, cheap datacenters that can rent a 1 GbE uplink, a PDU plug, and 4U. For anything substantial, it's not hard to lease some dark fiber and run (E)BGP.
