Running a dual-cloud RFP. AWS EDPs look cleaner on paper but Azure bundling with M365 is tempting for finance. Has anyone modelled TCO including egress and support properly?

Ask for India region capacity commitments in writing if latency matters.

We kept AWS for data workloads and Azure for productivity-adjacent services.

Azure + M365 bundle looked cheaper until we added networking and reserved instances carefully.

Model egress and support tiers properly. Sticker commit discounts hide a lot.
