The cost of cloud, a trillion dollar paradox

You’re crazy if you don’t start in the cloud; you’re crazy if you stay on it.

[a16z] show that across 50 of the top public software companies currently utilizing cloud infrastructure, an estimated $100B of market value is being lost among them due to cloud impact on margins — relative to running the infrastructure themselves

If you’re operating at scale, the cost of cloud can at least double your infrastructure bill.

Repatriation results in one-third to one-half the cost of running equivalent workloads in the cloud.

I have mentioned this several times on this forums that public cloud pricing is a rip off. Even for small companies, they are better off looking at IaaS providers because 95% of companies just need compute and storage etc on demand.
