Building off-prem is one of the biggest boondoggles in the history of our industry.
Unless you stick to S3, EC2, or EKS, you wind up designing your infra for freaky weirdware architectures like Lambda that won't run anywhere else.
Your costs are double what they would be if you just had a platform team imaging and updating servers. Costs can grow unexpectedly, too.
Why anyone is using this trap is beyond me. I guess since folks spend their two year tours of duty at companies before rotating off to some other position elsewhere, they just don't care.

This is Oracle all over again.
