All those points OP raised as difficult - physical space, staffing, capex, etc. - and your response is “yeah, now do it twice”.

Well, dedicated servers (for which you can have private cage, or VISA compliance, or ...) are a markup of say 30% over base cost, which is still 1/5th the cost of AWS. And even Hetzner will just deliver Kubernetes clusters these days.

These avoid all of the costs you were talking about.
