But that's not limited to cloud, you can do that for on-premise stuff.

There's a cognitive failure i see a lot where people incorrectly conflate two different new hotnesses like this.
Cloud? Automatically updating operating systems. On-prem? Must be stuck on an old version.
Microservices? You can release to production in minutes. Monolith? Must take you weeks to get a release out.
Go? Simple self-contained deployables. Java? Must need a JDK and Tomcat installed on the server.
It always seem to come up when the leading term is something dubious (cloud, microservices, Go), but the following term is something unequivocally good. Or maybe that's just when i notice it.
