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?

@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.

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)
