A comment on Hetzner Introduces ARM64 Cloud Servers. Parent comment
The cloud almost always ends up costing a lot more at scale and increasingly at the beginning.
In some part this is because the cloud is someone else’s computers that you have to help pay for.
The current incarnation of cloud was designed in part to work around scaling issues with Linux networking bot those have long since been solved.
At the same time tooling to host (docker, ansible, terraform) is making traditional devops heavier at times.
