I just wish the whole 'cloud' thing would die in a ditch specifically for people like that.
No, most use-cases don't need to be in a cloud.
You are 99.9% paying more for that setup than having people who understand servers.
And if you need the cloud, then hooray for you, but it should not need to be subsidized by thousands of small customers who jumped on the wrong train.
Agreed.
This is some of the best writing as to how/why/when cloud sucks.
I've shared it with my consulting friends, so they can more easily explain to (SMB) clients why cloud isn't necessarily a good answer.
Old-man-yelling-at-clouds energy :D
