Scam or Savings? A Cloud vs. On-Prem Economic Slapfight

Monday, March 18, 2024 - 9:25 am–9:50 am

Abstract: 

Since not giving a single crap about money turned out to be a purely zero-interest-rate phenomenon, the "cloud is overpriced vs. no it is not" argument has reignited—usually championed on either side by somebody with something to sell you. The speaker has nothing to sell you, and many truths to tell. It's time to find out where the truth is hiding.
