On the "value" question, it's worth considering why so many tech savvy firms with infra-as-code chops remain with GCP or AWS. It's unlikely, given how such firms work, they find no value in this.

FWIW, I firmly believe non "cloud native" platforms should be hosted using PXE-booted bare metal withing the physical network constructs that cloud provider software-defined-network abstractions are designed to emulate.

Maybe instead of "good value" I should be saying "the cheapest option" or "lowest $/unit of compute"

For value here in this thread I'm definitely meaning monetary value.
