The reason why AWS got popular everywhere I worked was that you didn't need to get buying new hardware past ops. You just spun up your own, then when it was supporting half the business you pointed at it and said "Gee wouldn't it be nice if we had a box in our own data center to run it?" then there'd be a fire lit under the ass of ops and you'd get your computers in a week instead of next financial year.Now it's exactly the same thing in AWS. My next guess is that you're going to be running production code on fleets of devs computers because you don't have to get extra budget for AWS next financial year to afford spinning up another instance.
