Reading Time: 5 minutesOne myth of public cloud services is that is cheaper compared to private services, but it’s (or it could be) wrong. The reality is that you don’t have CapEx and you have usually monthly OpEx.
But in the long (or sometimes also in the short) term could become more costly rather than an on-prem solution. Of course it depends by the service type and the real OpEx cost of your on-prem solution (sometimes not so easy to evaluate).
But also public cloud services may have some costs that are not so easy to be evaluated or estimated. Some services provider are really good by bring the credit and the cost much visible as possible, some others maybe not (or not yet).
