- jghn 10y agoAlso a very good point. The difference in price between what i'd pay for my personal work and my professional work isn't nearly as large as one would assume based on the listed prices. That does vary by cloud vendor though.

- devonkim 10y agoAWS has offered fairly significant discounts to organizations I'm familiar with that are well over $1M+ / month in usage, but this discount pales in comparison to how much they have saved in labor and availability compared to internal managed IT even completely ignoring the business agility kinds of arguments.
- ju-st 10y agoWhen buying IT equipment worth millions you will get very significant discounts,too.
