After a big cloud-first initiative, several managers left; leaving implantation to Linux sysadmins now in charge of cloud. Treated cloud as some colo facility, dump all apps in one big project/account, cloud costs spun quickly out-of-control and lots of problems with apps not being segregated from each other. Cloud declared 'too expensive' and 'too insecure', things migrated back on-prem, team now actively seeks to build and staff colo facilities with less than 10ms latency somewhere outside coastal California (Reno, Vegas, PHX) which just isn't gonna happen because physics.
