I feel like there's money in some lower end cloud.
At the moment, AWS/GCP/Azure just kill you with network egress charges. Consider that the cheap dedicated server companies (Hetzner, OVH) typically include about $4k/month or more of "free bandwidth" as compared to the big three.
I imagine Digital Ocean, Linode, OVH, and the like will add the cloud features that are missing (VPC, object storage, load balancing, DB as a service, SQS, Cloudwatch-like, etc) and start picking away at them. Or perhaps some newcomer.
Basically, I feel like a commodity cloud rush is coming.
