Both of the following can be true: - A lot of companies and startups can get by with a few modest sized VPSs for their applications - Cloud providers and other infrastructure managed services can provide a lot value that justifies paying for them. Edit: also why the obsession with dedicated hardware and so anti vCPU? For the vast majority of people this is an implementation detail that doesn't matter at all. A lot of that dedicated server is sitting idle.

> why the obsession with dedicated hardware and so anti vCPU? Because it is the reason an application that appears fast and snappy on your mid-range laptop slows down to a crawl when deployed. It’s the difference between a database query taking minutes (and blocking everything else) vs seconds. vCPUs and the lack of persistent direct-attach storage is the reason I personally don’t use the cloud for anything I build.
