Agree on the cloud prices, though there are use cases for very abrupt scaling. Btw azure has a tco calculator so you can see what assumptions you have to make

Btw azure has a tco calculator so you can see what assumptions you have to make for the cloud to come out ahead.
- axelthegerman 3y agoFair point about the scaling but a 9-5 job is pretty much the opposite... Very predictable usage and even on better priced cloud providers you can quickly provision new hardware when needed, e.g. some kind of load testing (which would be more ops than dev anyways)
- tomjen3 3y agoOh, I don't disagree that it is a bad fit for this particular use case (except if your company hires a lot of seasonal data-enty WFH workers).
