Rather than costing a "unit of computer power", which seems quite difficult to evaluate, why not cost the price of a floating point instruction in the cloud (or 1 million fpi if that's better) plus the price of storing the result of that instruction.
Seems like a more concrete thing to evaluate ( closer to what moore law is : not a "processing power" law, but rather something physical and concrete)
"the only conclusion is that most enterprises should dump
their data centers and move to the public cloud"
What a fucking asinine statement. I stopped reading there.
Why did I stop reading there? Because there's more to gain from controlling your own computing environment than simply money.
In the moment I read that sentence, I knew I was reading propaganda, and I realized I was yet again trapped in the media's Cloud Computing Echo Chamber, where industry shills try to brainwash us into acquiescing unto the inevitable One Data Center To Rule Them All.
