It gets worse for Azure blob storage users… much worse. Let’s define a few variables and set the scenario…Īzure cold tier storage is priced at $15.56 per TB using “Pay as you go,” so right out of the chute you’d be paying 2.6x more than Wasabi. Through extensive analysis and simulation (I used Excel, how ironic), I present the mathematical proof that storing data in Azure is a complete “bait and switch.”
Their tiering structure is simpler and easier to compare with our single-tier approach, especially when other services are rolled into the offer. Of all the hyperscalers we butt heads with, Azure is the most annoying to me. Regardless of the frequency of the phrase’s use, it is a critical concept, usually simplified as “comparing apples to apples,” and one that needs to be consistently applied to cloud services, like storage…
I rarely hear it today, except when I say it to my team, and they look at me and wonder why I’m speaking in tongues. Of all the classes I recall from my days at the University of Southern California (Go Trojans!) I still fondly remember my Economics 101 class and learning the qualifier ceteris paribus, “all other things being equal,” as the precursor to discussing shifts in the supply and demand curves.
