For a long time this is why Azure has been beating GCP. GCP has been adement (not sure if still are) that prices are “what you see is what you get) and hope that small projects will suck you in. Microsoft however would wine and dine execs and then offer 50% discount on a xx million commitment.
I agree on training and the like. Azure feels like such a mess.

- wodenokoto 3y agoI'm pretty sure its snowflake that went after BigQuery.
- aryonoco 3y agoCan confirm that even at I work, a state government department in Australia, which would be considered a medium size enterprise in most aspects, our standard price is a discount of just over 50% off the published price. When I want to calculate the price of a solution, I use their calculator, and then basically divide it in half. I assume if you're bigger, you probably get an even larger discount.
