In this segment, Scott Sellers, Co-Founder and CEO, Azul, explains that while high-performance Java platforms might not initially seem cost-effective, they can actually reduce operational costs for enterprises using cloud services. He highlights that cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have high gross margins, making cloud deployment costlier.

Sellers emphasizes that a high-performance Java platform can reduce the need for extensive compute resources, leading to significant cost savings. For instance, switching from other JVMs to Azul Platform Prime could cut the number of AWS instances required by 25%, resulting in lower cloud expenditures. This strategy aligns with the FinOps approach of optimizing cloud costs through efficient resource management.
