@psa Calculated equivalent AWS cost for an instance and 50 GB of storage. $8.
@dave Exactly. It's just utterly baffling.
I suppose the upkeep on that service is probably part time for someone and the costs are negligible, so putting it out there and seeing who bites might be considered worth it.
@psa what I wonder is whether they're using that fucking bananas pricing to position themselves as "enterprise".
@dave Given some of the absolutely bonkers decisions I've recently seen by suits with no technical knowledge beyond MSFT Office and reading whatever the Big 4 consultant says, that may well be.
