Everyone seems to be talking about the YoY percentage growth decline for AWS being at "only" 20%. Seemingly what's happening is just optimization en masse which is temporarily impacting growth on a YoY basis. There are other comments that allude to the on-prem to public cloud migration being in its infancy and I agree with that despite the growth rate decline becoming more noticeable.
Everyone is signing up for Savings Plans and RIs. Everyone. We actually just released a report on this showing a steep decline in on-demand utilization throughout Q4 which you can see here...it's just amazing to see it finally popping up in earnings reports: https://www.vantage.sh/cloud-cost-report/2022-q4 https://www.vantage.sh/cloud-cost-report/2022-q4
- ericpauley 4y agoThe data on on-demand percentage change is really interesting. I wonder if there's some underlying correlation that causes people to under-estimate this transition. For instance, orgs using reserved instances might tend to be larger (lower relative usage variance) and therefore have fewer cloud employees per compute spend. Thus, the on-demand share weighted by employees would actually be far larger than when weighted by compute spend (and making the transition less tangible to the hivemind). Thanks for publishing these reports! They have tons of business insight and, personally, I've really enjoyed reading them.
