But if you’re paying X in OpEx to AWS, at some point Y in CapEx (hardware) and Z for OpEx (your people) becomes more compelling. What I believe the comment above is arguing is that if you are saving millions for 20% savings on SSD costs, X >> Y + Z.
Yes, you have to manage the hardware, and Y doesn’t automatically go to zero for year two, but the convenience of the cloud isn’t always cost effective. Don’t get caught up with the details. The 2 million figure doesn’t matter as much. It’s finding that inflection point and making the better business decision.
