You're absolutely right. A little off-topic, but I've seen a similar problem on the on-prem side of things. Their server setups are a lot of the time completely overblown "because this is what the nice vendor recommended, they are great partners!" Awesome, your 5 node Nutanix setup with 15 whole VMs is peaking at 5% of its total compute, 5% of its RAM, and 8% of its disk. Granted, I do work with medium sized businesses in the manufacturing sector, but so many get tricked into thinking they need 5 9s, when 3 is enough, and their setup isn't even providing 5 anyway because nothing else is downstream. Then 5 years later their warranty is up and they scrap it all and replace. It's crazy. Kills me how many businesses contract this shit out and get tricked into spending a million on infra when they could just run 2 servers and pay a mid level engineer to manage it. "Not in the budget." Yeah, I wonder why.
