The conversation about Cloud TCO is not only a discussion about traditional on-premise delivery and off-premise delivery. Multi-tenancy and automated governance are game-changing concepts that can significantly decrease spend. Maybe part 3 in the series will describe your analysis on the TCO difference when multi-tenant shared container PaaS is adopted instead of single-tenant dedicated container PaaS. The econometric model may be reviewed in a recently published white paper:
