Management is obsessed with the cloud and "serverless", because it's cheaper short-term, and they don't have to care about eventualities like hardware breaking.

Long-term, it would be far cheaper and way more secure to host locally, especially for data storage.

But we all know long-term thinking is something that management can't do. And of course, the PR doesn't help at all.
