MS's chief economist believes that basic cloud services will be commodity-priced, so the strategy is to add value, and both tools and services will be key for that.
- Cacti 10y agoIsn't it already commodity-priced?
- sfeng 10y agoDepends on the specific service. Some are priced a % above cost (S3), others are priced a % below competition (data transfer), others are priced based on value (ML, text-to-speech, etc.).
- user5994461 10y agoIf you have $200k/£100k people who know how to handle it, yes.
- xapata 10y agoThere's no strict definition of what "commodity" pricing is. The market is competitive and the products are roughly comparable to each other, so it's reasonable to call them "commodity" products.
