Re: glaring propaganda of promoting Microsoft article
Not a glaring propaganda piece but one noting that many companies have a strategy problem including Slurp and Oracle. The basic assumption is that there is no technical reason to favor any of the vendors so what is the force in the cloud.
One of the major forces in the cloud is a retailer acting like a cost sensitive retailer selling to price sensitive customers. The post's thrust is that Slurp and Oracle do not offer any compelling reason for their higher prices and flaky pricing structures with AWS and others using a much simpler, generally cheaper, and more transparent pricing structure. To some extent Slurp and Oracle both rely on inertia to keep customers. But, if one is wiling to pay the essentially one-time cost to migrate to AWS one might be able to save money and aggravation over the long term.
