    The dot-com boom

    In fairness I was in school for those so I have no experience in them. While I was in the workforce for the others.

    I am curious what advantages the cloud offers that a colo in a DC with proper planning can’t.

      The advantage is you don’t need to plan and provision your own infrastructure in a DC because the vendor handles it.

      That flexibility is worth serious money.

        Personally I don’t call that an advantage. Paying 3-5x times in monthly fees over the course of 5 years just so someone else can lifecycle the hardware. That doesn’t even include the performance hit from using shared infrastructure compared to dedicated infrastructure.

        Look at 37Signals saving $7 million over 5 years after leaving AWS.
