*Groan* :)

It's certainly not clear-cut in the general case. In our specific
case, cloud was definitely not the way to go (we have other systems in
place for handling scale-out, so it's better for us to simply get X
dedicated computers and have an administrative decision to scale up to
Y, rather than automate it up and down as cloud can do).
