If you just need compute then big cloud doesn't really make sense. You're paying a huge premium for the lego block like ecosystem


Not exactly. The use-cases suitable for public IaaS are:

0. Temporary prototypes

1. Overflow capacity

2. One-time jobs

It's also often used to evade local IT restrictions. In general, public IaaS is damn expensive and a waste of money for continuous, predictable workloads regardless of compute, storage, and/or networking usage.


Those would all work just fine on mid tier providers like digital ocean


Which lack the marketing and sales capability because they are a lot cheaper.
