Is there perhaps a location for this content that isn’t low-value Nickle-scam spamware?

Guy had under 1tb database with a few million records, he probably means 480 or 4.8k/year not 480k lol

I bet that if you repatriate from the cloud you'll save even more.
Hard to say if you can, depending on what else you have in the cloud.

So refreshing to have an article that is not AI generated, not trying to sell anything, just gets straight to the point and is full of nice technical tips. Thanks for this.
