Not if you needed it for a short time.
If I need hardware for >5 years I’d buy hardware
If I need the performance of it for just 1 month, why should I bother acquiring the hardware for multiple thousands?
I feel like I was misunderstood here.
I’m making the same argument you did - it makes little to no sense setting up a VPS yourself if you can just as easily grab your data from the SaaS instance.
Veeam for example can do that pretty well.
So, yeah it can happen.
Or you extract the data from backup and migrate it to the new host and import it.
And thus administering the server yourself proved to be a waste of time and money as the SaaS was just as resilient? I’m still confused.
