You used to be able to scale up to millions of users in less time than you could memorize all the AWS acronyms, and with lower hardware and bandwidth costs to boot.
It’s true that it would take a couple weeks to order all the hardware and a couple more to install and configure it, but that’s about the same amount of time you spend writing all the terraform and Kubernetes scripts and configuring cloudformation and VPCs and IAMs.

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have high availability to the same level, for example. I mean, you could, but then tack on another 100 non-AWS acronyms to your on-premise solution.
