Cloud as a Story - Vunvulea Radu

Calculating the cost consumption for a solution that runs in cloud can be sometimes challenging. First of all you need do a forecast of how many resources are required and secondly you need to put on the paper all things that are billable by the cloud provider. Azure Price Calculator The pricing calculator offered by Microsoft for Azure is a nice tool, that helps you to take into account all the items. It is able to persist the cost even if you close the tab and when you are done you can export it to an excel file.

O sa fac calcul pentru 4 variante: Azure, Amazon, Google si costul unui server propriu-zis.
