Cloud, is it even worth it? (based on cost)

What's up everyone,

​

this post was made more with the question towards the big cloud providers as of now,

a simple math calculation for the cost of a csr1000v with a f9 load balancer for a period of 1 year came out as expensive as buying a brand new physical (mid-size) Cisco router with a f9 load balancer.

Obviously the physical appliances will last for years and eventually come out cheaper, even with the electricity bills included.

​

Am i missing something? for a couple of servers and databases i might find it worthy (if i were to go to a cheaper and not so populair cloud provider)

​

Something else which does look better on many points would be a private cloud that you own and manage, virtualized environment from appliances to servers and databases, with physical switches connecting to this virtual environment.
