So for organizations that never embraced the cloud alternatives have had to maintain their own infrastructure or use commodity solutions, as you mentioned, to deliver their IT needs. How much more was spent using a general purpose approach with higher portability to deliver the same result vs a cloud providers proprietary version? Then include the time component.

So far, speaking from experience, we saved loads of money DIY’ing it, even when deploying to the cloud, and we saved loads of time, in the long run.

WE KNOW where the perf problem is. WE KNOW the cadence for how long a fix will take. WE KNOW the OS we’re deploying. WE KNOW the apps we’re deploying. WE KNOW how to squeak additional perf from the infrastructure, tuned to OUR NEEDS.

If you hire talented workers, you save money and time, by DIYing the approach, as long as it’s done in a sane, and controlled manner.
