I don't remember that we did any benchmarks, but I don't doubt that if you look at the raw performance / price it can easily be an order of magnitude more expensive to go to the cloud. But once you take into account all the automation and services that the major cloud providers have, it can get much more cost effective as it saves significant time / expertise for most companies
- rhizome 8y agoThey may have only mentioned Bitnami images, it's been awhile. However, I think your rationale begs a question: how much of "the automation and services that major cloud providers have" (scare quotes only for readability) is needed by runners of metal? For instance, autoscaling can be mooted by overprovisioning, which would still incur only a minor cost increase. Multi-region is similarly cheap. A lot of the remainder seem like productized functionality that is fairly implementable locally if desired.
