Unless customers absolutely raise hell, this is going to be very good for AWS. Suddenly all of these autoscaling setups are going to consume 30% more resources in order to achieve the same throughput.
My expectation is we may see AWS apply some significant discounting to AWS services as a result, though that doesn't help all of us who utilize mostly prepaid reserved instances.
- epmaybe 9y agoAre the majority of aws revenues from casual users that probably wouldn't care? If so, I think you're going to be proven right. If, however, major customers make up the majority of revenue, then the answer seems less clear to me.
- meritt 9y agoMajor customers are absolutely the primary revenue source. AWS revenue follows the pareto principle.
