Comparing pipelines in both AWS and Azure, it's easy to see that there is up to circa 1minute improvements in some stages over Azure. If multiple developer pushes multiple times a day, the compound savings could penitentially be enormous
Cost
For other stakeholders (management and C level staff), costs can be a defining factor in choosing a cloud provider.
Currently in Azure, we have an inventory of virtual machines and registries using storage space, the average monthly cost to run TIS in Azure is unknown due to being denied access to that information. AWS on the other will give an estimation.
...
The issue with this estimation, is that we currently have a lot of experiments and resources being used to for the migration and other projects (TIS in Azure is…SS and Reval)
Insights:
It's not currently possible to do an apples to apples comparison on the cost of running TIS in Azure to AWS. Also at the moment, we have done little to optimise cost and resource usages.
Its probably better to come back to this point at a later date
