> The issue with the cloud is scale

I’d argue the issue with cloud is less about scale, more about how easy it is to get started. My mother could quite easily click through the account creation on a cloud provider and setup something insecure, but not a chance is she going to get a DC built with equipment racked or even a basic setup at a colo facility.
