xyzabc098123··on We reduced our server costs by moving away from AWS
Want to add, cloud vendors' proposition is not about the capability; it's a basic requirement and no longer an USP for something to 'work with the cloud'. It's about security. It's about outsourcing the liability so that the manager has less responsibility.
