Who's laughing now, doubters? Cloud makers rake in £75bn in sales

Re: Cloud pricing

Maybe, but public cloud should be inherently less costly than on prem. Three reasons: 1) They white box all of their gear, instead of paying EMC, Cisco, VMware, HP, etc a fortune. 2) They have hired a handful of Stanford Ph.Ds to full automate provisioning so there is close to zero manual intervention in the builds. 3) They have enormous economies of scale.... The prices may go up, but I doubt they go up too much or someone else steps in and undercuts them again.
