> Someone with access to any of the cloud provider services on the market is able to whip out and scale up whole web applications with far more flexibility and speed than any conceivable on-premises setup managed with the same budget.
Bullshit. I've seen people spin wheels for months/years deploying their cloud native jank and you should read the article - it's not nearly the same budget.
> Think about it for a second. With the exact same budget, how do you pull off a multi-region deployment with an on-premises setup managed by your on-premises linux admins?
You do realize things like site interconnect exist right? And it likely will be cheaper than paying your cloud inter-region transfer fees. You're going to be testing multi-regional prototype? please
Look there's a very simple reason why folks have been chasing public clouds and it has nothing to do their marketing spiel of elastic compute, increased velocity, etc. That reason is simple - teams get control of their spend without having to ask anyone for permission (like the old-school infra team).
