The reason I responded is your original post gave the impression that you think any workload in the cloud will be cheaper on your own hardware. Which is not true. I am reluctant to try to make any assumptions about the workflow here since I would assume they had ran the numbers to estimate what their cost would be. Possibly looking at their utilization. The nature of what they built does seem to be like it would be a burst application. But the details on that are not here and are just assumptions on both of our parts. Admittedly I responded do you because of this response to your post also: > anyone intentionally migrating infrastructure to the cloud in 2024 hasnt seen the bill, or is spending the taxpayers pound. Which again is a simplification of the situation. It’s a blanket statement that seems more anti cloud than reality. Yes there are workloads that make sense to run on your own hardware, but many, many exist that don’t make sense either.
