Companies: Stop being delusional about the cloud

A very good read about how companies refuse to embrace the cloud for reasons like:

1. Outages - You pay a lot more money hiring an IT team who's skills can't match the assembly of computer science talent at Google or Amazon
2. You need to talk to someone on the phone during an outage - Why do you need to be pacified over the phone when engineers could use the same amount of time to fix the problem?
3. Too insecure for your sensitive data - If you believe you can match the capabilities and rigor of Google’s Security Operations team, I wish you well.
