Lol, is Netflix any of my customers who thought moving to public cloud services was a good idea?
I would ask why customers are so dumb about how much public cloud offerings cost, but I know it’s a combination of 1) seemingly low prices up front, 2) bean counters that aren’t able to accurately cost forecast long term, and 3) a fundamental understanding of just how much compute they actually need. It’s absolutely stupid how many customers we have that are having to pull back on services because some genius thought moving to azure was a good financial move only to find out 6-8mo later that they’ve spent this year’s budget already.
Thank you. I’ve never understood the desire to implement bistromathics into my yearly costs. Since it requires a degree in fortune telling and an advanced degree in math to determine what it’s actually going to cost, I don’t want that complexity in my budget. I want to buy hardware and licenses and know that it will cost $X (well unless Broadcom and VMWare licenses are involved).

2b) bean counters who are ordered by middle managers to prioritize short term profits over all other considerations.
