I've been pretty satisfied with Azure DevOps so far, but calling it 'Azure' seems to be a marketing move and ends up being a misnomer.

I love the fact that Azure can advertise giving customers DevOps for free.

Haha, MS clients can now say their company has adopted DevOps.

Reminds me of them commandeering Office and SQL.

Don't forget DOS!

@NetworkNerd Your quadratic formula is wrong and most of those aren't functions, but nice effort I suppose:)

Hosting Costs
1U Colocation America, /24 IP Range
Monthly cost: ~$250/month
Yearly cost: 12 x 250 = $3000
5 year cost: 5 x $3000 = $15K

Last I looked, 1U was more like $225 with that many IPs. And I think typically you'd get fewer for a lot less cost and/or go IPv6. /24 is two IPs per VM. No need to pay for that.

Yes, the basic 1U was $100 with two power outlets and then you get four usable IPv4s.

A smaller server, say 16c EPYC, 128GB RAM, 2x500GB SSD, would be about $3500 and something even smaller, like a 8c Xeon @ 3.7Ghz, 64GB RAM, 2x500GB SSD around $2K.

So you could scale down everything substantially if you wanted. But if all you are doing is running a few very small workloads then a couple of $5 Vultr VM would be cheaper.

another factor is - are you running windows VMs, likely always cheaper to have your own hardware, but yeah, the amount of workloads definitely plays a factor here.

That's true, Windows workloads make cloud computing harder to justify. Not much, but a little.
