Interesting, I disagree but appreciate your perspective. AWS and competitors are just getting way too expensive and they're focusing so much on higher-level products. Some people just need a VM and a DB, and don't want to have to higher an expert just to estimate how much it will cost every month and pray they don't have something go viral that uses up a bunch of egress data.

I don't see bigger companies moving yet (most of them are building their own infra on top of OpenShift and VMware), but I know a few small companies that are.
