In-Depth Cloud Cost Comparison: Public vs Private Clouds

Radio Cloud Native by Mirantis

Welcome to Radio Cloud Native by Mirantis, your go-to podcast for all things cloud native, Kubernetes, and Open Source. Join us as we explore the latest trends, innovative solutions, and open source projects shaping the modern cloud landscape.

This episode is presented by Daniel Virassamy, Principal Solution Architect at Mirantis, who describes himself as curious by nature and open source by choice. Daniel will cover, in-depth, the various costs associated with current Public Cloud offerings to debunk many of the myths that Public Cloud is always cheaper, simpler, and the easiest to use in comparison to Private Cloud offerings.
He will also offer recommendations for reducing cloud spend - on any architecture - by leveraging open source technologies wherever possible.
A full list of topics for this episode includes:

• The Iceberg model (of cloud cost)
• Yearly Cloud cost example
• The FinOps cloud cost model
• Staff requirement for Public Cloud
• Cloud migration return on investment
• Shifting from Capex to Opex
• Infrastructure Services to Function-as-a-Service
• Importance of cloud reversibility
• Cost of data in Public Cloud
• Public vs Private Cloud
• Private Cloud does NOT equal On Prem
• Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)
• Mirantis Support: OpsCare and OpsCare+
• The Mirantis TCO calculator
