Can't possibly be slower than GCP, either. Performance of BigQuery is something to behold.

Cloud makes sense if you've a very 'spiky' load, I suppose. A website that needs one VM most of the year, but a hundred on a couple of days. Maybe your data processing needs 100 TB of storage a couple of times a month, but not the rest of the time. But for fixed, predictable bread-and-butter stuff?
