This. If all you’re doing is moving your workload from an in-house machine to a remote machine, you’re really not getting much benefit beyond reduced capex costs.
But saving money on not having to have an in-house DBA, letting the vendor take care of the 24/7 and patches etc....isn't that a good thing?
That’s just what I said: the gain by using cloud services is that you don’t have to spend your own time on the stuff that you mentioned, and can instead focus on providing value by developing applications.
