- mathattack 5y agoAt MSFT the Azure solutions architects are part of the sales organization. Their commissions are tied to usage (revenue) which tells you everything about their skill sets. And their lack of standard clear pricing means you have to estimate everything yourself.
- maccard 5y agoI've spent a lot of time with Amazon's Architects who have given us a huge amount of advice on how we could reduce our costs. Maybe we've gotten lucky with our contact, but their approach for keeping us on AWS seems to be "provide enough value on top of AWS that the extra pricing doesn't really matter" mostly in the form of handing us architecture templates for common workflows that we've never set up.
