The ability to lift and shift existing AWS automation tools to on-prem workloads is more the worth the money. At a lot of organizations on-prem servers are heavily controlled by teams that have no interest in automation or quick provisioning.

Being able to stick one of these into a data center and get full access to a significant number of AWS services while being able to tell security and others that certain data isn’t in the cloud is priceless. People overlook the cost savings of being able to turn your Devs and DevOps teams loose on-prem and no longer be blocked by system admins who have no desire to help you increase your development velocity.
