... isn't that the hardest part, predicting workload, for many companies. Scaling up within a colo can be troublesome due to procuring hw, having remote hands rack it, setup, etc.

If you can predict workload then you could also reduce your cloud bills, in theory, by moving spinning up/down instances.

Many are going the cloud route because the cost of entry is much easier to start developing but eventually, yes, the cost skyrockets and you do end up paying for putting little forethought into the real workload requirements.
