As your business grows at some point it may be cheaper to run your own cloud (OpenStack or something else), and you can start migrating your workloads with a PaaS layer like this.
At my previous employer the loaded TCO for running in-house OpenStack was 45-50% of AWS (the company used both).
- dmourati 11y agoAre you sure about that? Did you factor in power?
- antongribok 11y ago"Loaded TCO" means gear, space, power, cooling, transit, people... Those are high-level, and I don't remember a bunch of things that went into the 5-year TCO model but it was complex. If you have the talent and scale it's certainly doable, and like I said, we were at less than half of AWS. There are plenty of examples, one that comes to mind that is NOT hyper-scale is Server Fault.
