ZDNet has a great article today on how VCs perceive cloud "sticker shock". From the article: "Cloud computing is probably the biggest business around these days -- it has become a $100-billion-a-year industry. And there's a chance companies are paying way too much for it. "

The article is largely based on a recent post by Andreessen Horowitz entitled "The Cost of Cloud, a Trillion Dollar Paradox" which goes on to state: "Across all our conversations with diverse practitioners, the pattern has been remarkably consistent: If you’re operating at scale, the cost of cloud can at least double your infrastructure bill."
