Well, agree to disagree. Where I work we have all those things with one central management (ansible), running on VPSes at 2 providers.

If we want translation, as an example that we also use, it was as simple as finding a container on docker hub.

A load balancer auto scales the VPSes, payment is by minute, for a price cheaper than going with a cloud provider.

The only thing we have on-prem is data backups, as you never know when a third party (by error or not) locks you out.

To each their own, but cloud is still just someone else's computer :)
