I have been searching for an article about advantages/disadvantages about using cloud services (Azure in this case) or a dedicated server but have not found anything concrete. What I see is that there are dedicated servers with much more capacity (8MB RAM, 2 x 2 TB HD´s, 4-core CPU, for example) than Azure VM´s at a much lower price and at the same time I see that there is an increase in cloud services usage. What other aspects should I consider besides price to decide to move to the cloud (Azure VM´s in this case) instead of a dedicated server?
