It cracks me up that both AWS and especially Azure overcharge for logging to the point that it’s easy for logs to cost more than the underlying system they’re monitoring!
If you sit down and work out their cost of data processing, it costs them cents to provide a service for which they charge tens to hundreds of dollars.
I figure the reasoning is that large enterprise requires logging for compliance, and it’s a hidden charge that’s easy to overlook in a bill.

- yegle 4y agoAFAIKT the AWS SA takes commission, and should indeed be considered a sales role.
- Moissanite 4y agoIt is a sales role (part of the sales org), but not paid comission - that is only account managers.
