I had to explain on a call that it doesn&amp;#x27;t make sense that environments that get .0001% of the production traffic are billed at the exact same price. Basically punishing us for having a more mature SDLC.&lt;p&gt;We also run our infrastructure with redundancy, so we got billed for every region &amp;amp; availability zone, they wanted it to be crazy expensive.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m curious how this changes things, the new &amp;quot;pro&amp;quot; pricing is not available sadly :(</text></comment>

Microsoft, once the strongest opponent of open source, changed its tune like 5+ years ago. What could possibly be the “sea change” this executive is referring to?</text></comment>
