Any company that switches from real hardware to "the cloud" is going to triple their compute costs. They're obviously making too much money. With them not even selling their old hardware, they are doing the equivalent of setting large piles of money on fire

It could just be that they think the increase in their cloud bill will be low enough to justify switching and stopping employing people who currently run things in their datacentre.

And yet people don't really consider the cost of employing people to manage the cloud infrastructure... In most companies I know of that are all in on cloud that's a larger team than what manages physical infrastructure in the companies that still have that.

Yeah, I don't know how it will work out.
