This learning module went through a hypothetical situation, but it reaffirmed what I was feeling. Storage costs go up by a factor of ~7x versus a typical on-premises data center. However, I didn\u2019t realize how much can be saved in computing costs. Running virtual machine workloads on Azure versus in a typical on-premises data center can reduce costs by a factor of ~2x. Most of that number is saved in hardware costs.
