Cloud sales are quite tricky...
they are based on an estimate : called commitment..
the commitment is a sort of "i owe you" : cloud consumption of XXX$
a lot like 'line of credit of computing'....
for eg
100 cpu if sold for 1000$ for a month...
if 1 gets into a 'commitment'...
then based on 'discount'....and 'commitment'...
the same 100 cpu would cost 500$ for 50% discount
And this lil 'hack' is how our dear snakey cloudy googley salesmen : success!
If you noticed : the 'commitment' is like a promise...coming from a std virus infested team, run by mitesh aggarwal's engineering expertise of 'counting lan cables' machines and various 'physical stuff'...
to give out an estimate of savings of 'lift and shift' the 'datacenter'...
this....was a fools promise : coz 2 heavyweights :orklie and microhard...had ironklad EULAs...
which googleys can never discount...on licenses
yet, useless deals were made...knowing full well : shift cant be done.
why?
the sales commission is doled out on 'commits'
not sales
and our dear moral beacons of googleys : like kirand bajwa with virtuous STD distributor team lead by capt ciagras......
madness was called sales aggression
and open society veronicas : just a pity subject of 'abla naari' : dependent on men and their 'approval' for career progression and money
deals with 'devil'?
or deals with idiots?
or deals of googleys?
bribes as normal peeps call it......
cold and calculated.
