The common element in the above is scaling and reliability. While lots of startups and companies are focused on the 1% chance that they are the next Google or Shopify, the reality is that nearly all aren't, and the overengineering and redundancy-first model that cloud pushes does cost them a lot of runway.
It's even less useful for large companies; there is no world in which Kellogg is going to increase sales by 100x, or even 10x.
But most companies aren't startups. Many companies are established, growing businesses with a need to be able to easily implement new initiatives and products.
The benefits of cloud for LE are completely different. I'm happy to break down why, but I addressed the smb and mid-enterprise space here because most large enterprises already know they shouldn't run on a single rack.
This is just a complete lack of engagement with the post. Most LE’s know they shouldn’t run a two rack setup either. That is not the size or layout of any LE that I’ve interacted with. The closest is a bank in the developing world that had a few racks split across data centers in the same city and was desperately trying to move away given power instability in the country.
