Same! Some execs get excited about reducing capital expenses for a data center and the teams that manage it. Some CTO gets excited about the flexibility and some legitimate benefits of cloud.
But it ends up costing a shitton of money to switch paradigms completely, and they don't switch paradigms completely for a number of years: If you're just migrating servers to ec2/vpc, you're doing cloud wrong.
Of course, there is the idea of cloud agnostic, or even multi region, which seems a challenge for most places.
At least with terraform, it is theoretically easier to swing configurations over to a different host.
