The discounts you can get from doing anything at big enough scale will push your costs back to colocation prices. Don't assume that anyone with a cloud bill over 200k is playing anywhere near the price you read on the pricing page.

Nope. I had chance to compare what one org had for 600k of real money after all the discounts. Not even remotely close to what one can get for rented dedicated servers.

“Will”? I doubt it. Definitely not with that level of certainty.

> certainty

Considering the number of people here commenting about costs but have never managed a P&L, I don't think certainty is high on the list.
