I work for a really small company (20 people) that uses AWS. We discussed moving off and concluded it would be a multi year effort. I can't even imagine how much work this would involve
I'm currently pushing to move away from AWS as well. Just for pricing reeasons
Yeah, it's insane what it costs. We spend about $20k/month and that's after a big oush to reduce costs.
I'm sure that's tiny compared to many but like I said we're only about 20 employees.
It's pervasive as well, all those SasS products are probably running on AWS or one of the other big ones and so their cloud bill is baked into the prices. You end up paying them a dozen different ways.
So it’s working as intended. It’s always been the Hotel Cloudifonia.
