If you have a constant load, on premise is always cheaper. Scientific computation has, for a large enough organization, a 100%
If you have a variable load, cloud infrastructure may make sense if you can easily auto-scale.
In my experience, most business real world applications are multi tiered applications with variable loads hence are a good fit for cloud infrastructure.
However, attaining the required application flexibility and KPIs for efficient auto scaling is quite hard and require strong functional & technical expertise.
- halbritt 8y agoMy experience totally reflects this. Most enterprise IT infrastructure is idle the majority of the time. I'm running infrastructure for a SaaS app in k8s. I feel like I'm doing well sustaining >50% efficiency, i.e. all cores running >50% all the time and more than half the memory consumed for things that aren't page cache. Hard to get better efficiency without creating hot spots.
