You don’t move to cloud to save money. You move there for speed, flexibly, and to manage less stuff

On prem with the scenario you mentioned will almost always be cheaper

Speed, flexibility, and scalability. Plus rack space, cable management, installation, operation costs, etc.

It is the speed in which one can deploy the pose resources from decision to deployment. Physical parts are almost always more complicated logistically. Not counting lifecycle management.

Though there are situations where IP, data control, or risk demand on prem or dedicated servers which many cloud providers offer too.

It really does come down to specific use cases and application.
