That doesn't look more expensive than consultant, looks less. That's what I'm saying, if anything I think they may have underpriced that cost. That's way cheaper than most support options I've seen.

If you're seeing companies spending $600 a day for a devops consultant, I don't know what to say other than you can get much more affordable, high quality advice elsewhere. That said, the super high wages of IT staff in some parts of the US is a frequent source of surprise for me.
