Ha. I knew something like this would happen eventually. Isn't limitless scalability one of the biggest selling points of using "the cloud"? If you have to buy your own computers anyway why even use the cloud? You could try using different clouds providers but eventually the clouds run out.
Which brings me to another important point. If we run out of computers meaning supply can't keep up with demand, then who are the winners? The people who own the computers. Cloud providers and self hosters. Because of the high demand cloud providers can raise their prices and that's directly converted to profit since expenses remain the same, i.e. price gouging. Good job all you cloud loyalists who use the cloud for everything.
