At the risk of being rendered totally invisible, I would have to point out that you still have to hire-on techies to develop and maintain your apps in the “cloud”. Not to mention the latency issues you would experience. That's when you're required to re-install your local hardware to be run in a hybrid/cloud solution. And having your “cloud” provider install edge/devices. Finally you should ask yourself just how much money you are going to save by moving to the “cloud”.
