- DBA's & DevOps
- Procurement management & spare parts
- Colocation w/multihoming
- Leasing agreements
- Paying for power usage

- Hardware failure
- Scaling up/out

The "migration" boogeyman is just that, something we tell other programmers to scare them around the campfire. You're going to be hard-pressed finding horror stories of companies in "cloud lock-in" that isn't a consultant trying to sell you something.
> at some point it's cheaper to bring ops/ hardware in-house.
It depends. It's not always scale issue, and with all things it starts with a model and collaboration with your finance team.
