And if you are using cloud just as an overpriced colo, you aren’t really getting any advantage of being in the cloud. You’re going up spend more money hosting all your own infrastructure on VMs, more time on maintenance, and does it add any business value?

Do you not use IAM? Cloud specific infrastructure as code (again TF has cloud specific provisioners), permissions, compliance, training.

The articles mentions many basic advantages of using cloud platforms as simple infrastructure, without entangling your usage with vendor-specific, proprietary services. Scalability is an obvious one.
