Hi, what would be the source for the possible 77% cost saving? Thanks in advance :)

It's interesting that 'performance tuning' is reserved for on-prem. For me, performance tuning in the cloud is possibly even more important than tuning on-prem. People might think that cloud is 'infinite resource' and therefore tuning is not needed, but everything comes at a cost. If your application earns 10K a month, but your hosting costs are 15K a month due to poor performance, that's not an effective app.

On premises what about:
Dedicated Space for Server
Electricity Cost (Server and Temperature Maintenance)
Fire Extinguishers

On premises not on premise. Premises = a property whereas premise = a suggested idea

All cloud people are like car salesman. I have servers that paid for themselves in the first year in service and have been running without a blip for 5+ years. Cloud is only for backups, email and phone systems. Everything else stays on premises. You are paying for the hardware costs in cloud just not all at one time.
