> I just mean that as a whole we're going to be moving back to simpler deployments, simpler architectures, and most importantly, fixed/predictable costs.

That I can definitely agree with, I just believe that's fully possible to do with cloud (for the most part, though there are certainly some head turners like the recent news that AWS was charging for forbidden attempts on private S3 buckets, which is bonkers) and cloud cost management tools.

Yea that’s totally fair. I think we’re using slightly different definitions of “cloud” here. I’m mainly focused on the managed services/abstractions, things that abstract away the server itself and are usage based billed. But firing up a few ec2 instances is still technically “the cloud”, you are right.
