Anyone who has worked in IT / tech for a minute knows that Amazon Cloud services can be very helpful and painfully expensive. Is there a point where a hybrid approach makes more sense (Amazon EC2 + dedicated servers at a COLO, etc.).
Amazon internet bandwidth is just too much $$

Another scenario where hybrid can be useful is highly specialized machine configurations (if you require tons of RAM, cores, GPUs, parallel RAID-0 SSD configs, etc) -- many cloud providers really turn the screws on you for niche instance configurations like this

Hey Jason, there is definitely interest in hybrid approaches for some workloads. In the container services org we are building ECS Anywhere, and EKS Anywhere to help serve this use case of running some things in cloud, and some things on-prem

You can read more about a sample home lab I've built with ECS Anywhere on Raspberry Pi: aws.amazon.com/blogs/containe
With ECS Anywhere you can orchestrate on-prem workloads from the cloud, while keeping the bulk of your networking bandwidth on-prem, but connect back to VPC if needed
