Cloud is only good if you don't care about costs and plan to scale without looking back.

For example, building a Ceph based Software Defined Storage with croit.io for S3 comes for 1/10 to 1/5 of the AWS price in TCO. Same goes for any other product in the cloud.

If you only need it a short time up to 6 months, go to the cloud. If you plan to have the resources longer than 6 months go to Colocation.
