Many people have been fired after AWS migrations resulted in massive cost increases. But, few people want to talk about failed projects at hospitals etc where the cloud is a poor fit.

IT has always had issues with people cargo cutting solutions without understanding the details, and the cloud is no different.

I agree its just the current one that affects me. We did have someone get fired from an AWS migration at my first startup but they just turned around and tried to do again. It took one year for a single application that only lived on a single server and we never did anything more advanced before we sold.
