Disclaimer: I'm a Red Hat consultant but this is entirely my own opinion

Comparing consulting bills to IaaS bills is apples/oranges. Consultants are really just Humans as a Service (HaaS). A lot of the work we do is to bring in expertise in something that would otherwise be difficult and expensive to hire for and augment a team for a short period. We actually help customers with cloud-stuff (like AWS and Azure) all the time.

A lot of the work I've been doing lately is stuff that would have to be done if you were using K8s on cloud instead of OpenShift. I'm currently helping to migrate services from older platforms (like BlueMix) to OpenShift. You can look for that "feature" all day long in the cloud console, but you won't find it :-)

I'm not talking about consultancy fees. I'm only talking about Redhat licenses for OpenShift and its support contracts.

I'm also a freelance consultant mainly focused on OpenShift and k8s, my bill is separate.

Ah ok, I gotcha. No disagreement here. Apologies for misconstruing your comment.
