Despite requiring more infrastructure engineering expertise, it provides exclusive access to physical hosts, low-level hardware access, and more predictable costs. This tradeoff can benefit applications needing specific hardware configurations, lower latency, and higher control over data and networking. Public clouds, however, offer more services and easier scalability.
