Inside

What the paper covers

  • The Problem with Bundles

    Unused disk, plan changes to grow, and CPU that forces storage

  • The Hyperscaler Model

    Fixed compute sizes and a root disk sized and billed by the GB

  • Tiers and Billing Lines

    Six storage tiers and four separate lines on Review and Deploy

  • A Worked Example

    One plan, three disk sizes and four tiers, with assumptions and the date

  • Sizing a Root Disk

    Template minimum, growth, and which tier for which workload

  • Existing Customers

    What stays the same, what to check, and what is coming next
