Estimates only, in USD, based on indicative regional list pricing and standard configurations. Public-cloud figures include a support-tier uplift and typical egress; self-run VMware includes platform licensing and your own operations effort. Nothing here is a quotation.

Where the saving comes from

Four line items you stop paying

The gap is rarely the servers. It is everything a consumption model adds around them.

~30%

Idle capacity

Instances sized for a peak that happens twice a year, billed every hour in between.

Egress charges

Reading your own data back — backups, analytics, migrations — costs nothing here.

Support tiers

No percentage uplift to reach an engineer who already knows your estate.

1 bill

No reconciliation

One agreed figure each month, so finance stops explaining variance.

What is being compared

Four deployment models, one estate

Platform

Pricing model

What moves the bill

AWS

Public cloud, consumption

Instance hours, storage tiers, egress, requests and support percentage — all variable.

Microsoft Azure

Public cloud, consumption

Instance hours plus licence entitlements, egress and support percentage.

Self-run VMware

Private cloud you operate

Hardware refresh cycles, platform licensing changes and your own operations headcount.

YallaCloud

Flat fee, operated

The estate you agreed. Capacity changes are re-baselined at thresholds you approve — nothing else moves.

FAQs

How accurate is this comparison?

It is an estimate from indicative list pricing and standard configurations. Real numbers depend on your storage tiers, networking and commitments — send us an inventory export and we will price the actual estate.

What inputs do I need?

vCPU, RAM, storage and operating system per machine. That is enough for a defensible shape.

Why is the public-cloud figure higher than their calculator?

Because we include the parts usually left out: idle capacity, egress, and the support tier you have to buy to get help.

Does it include our own operations effort?

For self-run VMware, yes — as a line item. For a full picture across all models, use the TCO calculator.

Can we compare against a VMware renewal?

Yes. The self-run column includes platform licensing, which is the line most affected by recent renewal changes.

Is the flat fee really all-in?

Compute, storage, egress and platform support are in the fee. Managed services such as monitoring, backup and security are subscribed separately and quoted up front.
