That's the problem right there: the vast majority of workloads in the cloud runs on shared hosts.
AWS/GC dedicated host pricing is not actually that crazy of a markup (around 50% last time I investigated), but that's still very noticeable at scale, and billing granularity is by the hour.
- tylerhou 7y agoI agree public cloud needs mitigations to be secure. But a significant number of workloads (~50%?) run on-prem or in private clouds. Those generally host "more trusted" code.
- the_duke 7y agoTrue, but only if you trust all your services equally, or restrict each host to a single one. Otherwise you lose a security boundary.
