Valid point for some, but I was comparing compare apples with apples. I was talking about servers rented in a data center, so it was opex before cloud as well, just cheaper (or, less expensive).


Yeah the whole capex vs opex argument for cloud preeminence doesn't really hold water. Cloud is not the only way to play that trade-off.

The whole thing was very much marketing and FOMO driven.
