I'm aware.

Buuttt... you're trying to compare apples (a rack in a DC) to oranges (an AWS Native Solution that spans multiple DCs). And that's before you get into all the AWS bullshit that fucking sucks, but it sucks more to do it yourself.

A Rack in a DC isn't a solution that's useful to people who are in AWS.

A rack in a DC and services in AWS can securely talk to each other as easily as services in AWS can talk to other services in AWS.
