AWS is cheaper under certain, favorable (to them) assumptions, primarily around needing fewer employees to maintain the hardware.

- const_cast 1y agoIn my mind it's very similar to how people sometimes frame the cost-effectiveness of Apple products. Like when the 5K iMac originally came out, there was a lot of people claiming it was a good value. Because if you bought a 5K display and then built a PC, that would end up being more expensive. So, like for like, Apple was cheaper. But... that assumed you even needed a 5K display, which were horribly overpriced and rare at the time. As soon as you say "4K is good enough", the cost advantage disappears, and it's not even close.
