Another DC to cloud story! I love these!
It's like watching a play in 3 acts:
Act 1) Yay, we did it, we're gonna save so much money!
Act 2) [a year later] Wait, we're spending how much money?!?
Act 3) It's going to cost us how much to leave our current cloud?!?
Haven't people figured out yet that cloud companies make a profit? Sure, companies like Etsy can get a huge discount, but everyone else who isn't a big name is going to pay out the ass.
- btian 9y agoThat's not how any of this works. Boeing makes a profit, but how much money will it cost to design and make a plane from scratch?
- CaptSpify 9y ago> That's not how any of this works. Weird then, considering that I've seen >5 companies go through that process. Something that you say doesn't work one way clearly does. Planes are vastly different than data-centers. Depending on what you need, a brand new data-center can run as little as a couple hundred dollars for a server + parts, and <$30 / month on everything else. What is the cheapest plane you can buy?
