wonder if there will be an on-prem SQL Server after 2022

The client already had an Azure infrastructure. In theory, you should then leverage that investment into Azure to host further on-premises workloads on Azure. Doesn't work when a competitor easily undercuts the Azure pricing for Container Services.

why did they only want your lot to do Azure pricing?

Acci (21:04:39)
@mirrorbird: I am pretty sure that is how the competing offer was five times cheaper. The client thought the price was very fishy, but they had to go with it.

Woah, I never head of Bada.

tbh you could underquote, do it on inadequate spec, and then get more work upgrading it to something reasonable (i suppose! i'm not a salesman)

it was probably on par with windows phone, but you can't create an ecosystem if you don't have critical mass
