The use of the lake in the cloud has impacted an increase in cloud costs. I'm considering doing a TCO study to bring some workloads to our datacenter in house. Has anyone gone through or is going through this challenge?

May I ask if there was a TCO comparison of running these very workloads on the cloud vs on-prem? If so, in what ways did the original TCO modelling fail to reflect today’s reality?Chief Technology Officer in Services (non-Government)a month ago
I would be interested to understand in which area have the cloud costs increased, known and easy to evaluate elements, such as Cloud storage, or more difficult to estimate elements like egress? This is the challenge with anonymous questions, individuals may not want to respond back! Would be keen to understand more.Vice President in Bankinga month ago
That’s a very good study to go through. One of the major problems with cloud is, cost is not calculated upfront properly.CIO in Insurance (except health)a month ago
It is a good exercise to go through as I agree many organizations do not calculate the costs of cloud correctly. There is also an understanding you must have on what can and cannot run in the cloud based upon your application profiles, etc. It's not as simple as picking up and moving as many think when you embark down this journey. In many cases the Cloud may cost you more, but may be offset in soft costs so that should be called out in any business case as well.Director of IT in Energy and Utilitiesa month ago
Cost management in the cloud is a science and it needs to be done consistently to be effective. Individuals for whom cloud computing is one of their responsibilities will likely not fully realize the benefits and opportunities that cloud computing creates. It is sort of like going to visit another country vs. living in that country. Tourists think they experienced the city or country by visiting for some days or weeks. However, it is only the residents who truly understood. Put it another way, spending a portion of ones time in cloud computing is like being a touris.Certain layers of datalake may be more easily transferable for on premises or similar scenarios. One example is to place your own datalake storage in a localzone data center for say AWS, then use this storage with everything else for the data lake sitting in AWS.
