the -> cloud -> datacenter -> cloud -> datacenter move will by cyclical every few years. companies that were in the cloud in 2018, did not have to pay the high costs of fixing hardware that was vulnerable to spectre/meltdown. in some cases, migrating from a datacenter to the cloud was cheaper than upgrading datacenters full of vulnerable hardware. now with everyone in the cloud, datacenters have lower prices - so its going to draw companies into datacenters. in a few years, though, theyll have to either upgrade their hardware, or move back to the cloud. its gonna cycle like this for the forseeable future.
