Given that your cost is going to be correlated to AWS’s cost of goods sold, I’d argue of course we care.

- QuinnyPig 7y agoI care what AWS charges me; I don’t have the energy to care what their underlying cost structure and its constituent parts looks like.
- qeternity 7y agoAs I said in my comment, their underlying cost structure has a direct relationship to the cost you incur (at least in the long run with semi efficient markets). There’s a reason why commodity markets tend to revert towards variable cost.
- ksec 7y ago> There’s a reason why commodity markets tend to revert towards variable cost. Is that some theory of economical model ? Or is that a way of saying the final price of a product varies greatly because the commodity part with the product is only a small percentage of the TCO / BOM ?
- wmf 7y agoIndeed; we shouldn't care about AWS power efficiency but we also shouldn't assume that it's bad just because we can't see it.
