I assumed that we where talking dedicated hardware here and not cloud.

We know from experience that public cloud is a huge money sinkhole compared to running your own cloud on bare metal (we use proxmox).

I'm sure you know operating costs better than we do though, we don't have our own Datacenter.

I think what he's saying is that 200 boxes from OVH is dedicated and that 200 boxes is well past the point where you should switch from dedicated to colo.

The cloud part was just an example of a tipping point and not the main point of the comment.

Ah, ok, well I don't have any experience with the accumulated costs at this level of deployment.
Yes! Thanks for pointing this out.
