Is that a pragmatic consideration, though, or just a conceptual one?
My main concern is with the word "exactly", since cloud providers can charge a remarkable markup, which means that, though one is paying proportional to ones use, but that's not necessarily desirable, if the alternative is, for example, to pay less-than-proportionally (e.g. via an economy of scale).
Is the FaaS markup significantly lower? Higher? Do the decision makers even care?
I'm somewhat familiar with the possibility of reducing costs at IaaS providers like AWS with things like dedicated instances and the marketplace. Is that available with FaaS? Does that not matter because it, essentially, removes the benefit of minimal support?
