I assumed phase 3 was where AWS started giving you massive discounts because you represent so much business for them, but I've never been at a place big enough to swing that stick at them.

Could it be magical thinking based on marketing hype and autoscaling fantasies?
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoI have, but the technical service still sucks even at "20-30% discount" tier. I think you should have multicloud strategy just to improve your bargaining position. They know when you're locked in.
