My company recently migrated from on-premise to AWS to “save money”; in the first month we now have test environment instances which we shut down outside of business hours because of high cost.
Great, so work gets done slower AND we pay more? Fucking genius.
You’re gonna get some “git gud scrub” responses, but really the high cost is just what everyone discovers; it’s just your turn.
In both my jobs I went through the eager take-up of (pub) cloud and saas schemes, and then the eventual 90% repatriation of compute.
Turns out it’s still cheaper to run your own team with your own prov-cloud gear in a DC. Like, usually by a good amount. Yes, Virginia, even if you’re a black belt cloud master of saas (which is just sales and kool-aid).

Cloud is a sick joke to capture revenue.
I miss having data centres.
It was fine to run a SQL query that took 6 hours because the cost was a few dollars.
Now that cost is thousands of dollars.
Hurray!
lmao
Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.
