why would you ever want to move to cloud if you have a functional non-cloud setup? Cloud platforms charge you much more than what the hardware is worth, the only advantages are that they provide a simplified resource management system (which is mostly an illusion, as any non-trivial system will require you to build in-house tech regardless) and the ability to scale more easily (which is done at a prohibitive cost, so a good reason to switch away if you need to scale up).
