There's certainly a huge range of pricing for the exact same services (sometimes worse services cough OVH dedi servers cough)
- GordonS 7y agoI have a feeling you know this, but "the cloud" is nowadays generally taken to mean providers (such as AWS and Azure) that have IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings, with a focus on the latter two.
- sheeshkebab 7y agoIf you are not using load balancers, lambdas, provisioned iops, internet scale databases, pipelines, streams, cdns, data object storage, machine learning apis - you are not using “cloud”.
- freehunter 7y agoIt's a server in "the cloud" but it's not cloud services. If you're running an OS on bare metal or a blank VM, you're basically just co-locating in someone else's datacenter which is a very traditional model.
