Outcompete Amazon (especially) on prices? Waiting to see who'll achieve that feat.

That aside, there's a cost threshold beyond which it wouldn't makes sense to offer cloud services​ at such ridiculous prices. If anything, I actually think compute prices might increase in future as demand for cloud services become globally outrageous, from Alaska to Zagreb.

I'd like to see the opposite of admining your own custom stack on vps or cloud instances. What I want is a really full featured walled guarden where compute storage and bandwidth are all metered and you just pay for what you use. Super cheap if you can live within the constraints. I'm talking mainframe style web app hosting, one giant server, you pay for a slice. No admining or provisioning of instances required.

I thought something like Digital Ocean wasn't possible.

AWS seems cheap, but egress is where they get you.
