Is the grass greener outside the cloud? This episode dives into the trend of companies (notably Hey and Dropbox) migrating away from cloud services. Why are they leaving, and who would benefit from such a move? We also scrutinize the common belief that public clouds are overly expensive. Join us as we dissect various cloud cost optimization tools and techniques.
