I work for Disney and we're in the process of migrating all VMware boxes in our 3 data centers over to azure. We decided not to renew our contract with them. Guess it wasn't just us?
Have your group ask microsoft what the charges for Azure will be for your year 3 year 4 and year 5 commitments.
100% sure the Azure rep will gag on whatever they have in their mouths at that moment and start deflecting. If MS can fuck the US Government in a 10yr Azure contract, odds are pretty high they'll do the same to Disney.
Source: Our company bought into O365+Azure+ADFS at a good rate for 3yrs, then got burned by MS once the honeymoon was over. They're not going to make it fun for you all once your contract ends.
Nope, certainly seems to be a broad issue. Surprised that Disney would switch. I suppose the savings is there though.
