Can you give a ballpark figure by what factor AWS/Azure TCO exceeded yours?

to keep it simple, think of a 42u rack stuffed to the gills with servers and switches.

that would cost us maybe $10k a month on the margin, and we could resell and manage it for nearly $50k a month. i'm betting amazon could milk it for $200k a month, possibly 2-3x that if it's GPU's.
