~300000 CPUs is about 2K racks worth of servers. I would think if you have such constant load it would be more economical to move that on-premise.

300k cpu cores is “only” about 1200 nodes these days, definitely not 2000 racks.

If CPU == core thread, then yes.

You’re thinking like an engineer. A business person would just ask for a discount (which I’m sure they do) and constantly renegotiate. Don’t forget the financing of on premise and data centre workers and how that looks on your balance sheet.

The load is emphatically not constant though? Encoding has to be done once, as fast as possible, and updated rarely. That warehouse (or just aisle) of racks would be sitting idle much of the time…
