The emergence of public cloud computing has transformed enterprise IT and public cloud services continue to evolve and grow at a rapid pace. Public cloud offerings are rich and extensive, providing certain advantages to enterprise customers. However, public cloud service complexities make it difficult to select the optimal cloud service and difficult to compare the cost of public clouds with privately owned and operated data centers (“private clouds”) or hybrid clouds (aka, “multicloud”).

In this comprehensive study,our key findings are that applications with high data transfer requirements and/or GPU compute requirements are much more expensive to run on a public cloud versus a private cloud, and applications with less intensive compute requirements are more cost-effective in a public cloud.
