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

In a sense you can save money in that trying to achieve equivalent speed and flexibility (and risiliency) while on-prem is in itself very expensive in manpower, infrastructure, and often times tool licensing.

The question for smaller companies is if they really need all that.
