That’s awesome. The most important thing is to understand why you’re making the decisions that you do.
Where I work, we can deliver most services cheaper on-prem due to our relative scale and cloud margins. But… we’re finding that vendors in the hardware space struggle to meet their SLAs. (Look at HPE — they literally sold off their field services teams and only have 1-2 engineers covering huge geographic regions. So increasingly critical workloads make the most sense in the cloud.
