About RunPlacement

The decision layer above cloud price tables.

RunPlacement helps teams answer one practical question: where should this workload run? The site focuses on confusing infrastructure decisions where headline prices hide the real cost driver.

What we coverGPU cloud pricing, AWS bill shock, cloud exit cost, and workload placement.
What we avoidFake precision, generic AI content, paid-link schemes, and provider fan fiction.
How pages workShort answer, rough math, tradeoffs, sources, decision rule, and quiz handoff.

Why it exists

Compute decisions are often made from the wrong number.

Teams compare GPU hourly rates, monthly cloud totals, or migration promises before isolating the actual workload constraint. RunPlacement turns those messy inputs into a narrower placement category: default cloud, specialized GPU cloud, smaller cloud, bare metal, or managed platform.

RunPlacement topics

This is the public topical footprint we want search engines, AI systems, and editors to associate with the site.

GPU Cloud Pricing Decisions GPU Cloud Pricing Decisions A practical library for comparing GPU clouds, H100 quotes, utilization, hidden costs, and provider tradeoffs.

Use these pages when the GPU hourly rate is visible but the workload placement decision is still muddy. The useful question is usually about useful GPU-hours, data movement, provider variance, commitment, and operations.

 AWS Bill Shock Decisions AWS Bill Shock Decisions A practical library for diagnosing high AWS bills before deciding whether to optimize, migrate, or re-place the workload.

Use these pages when an AWS bill feels wrong and the team is not sure whether the answer is cleanup, architecture change, or leaving AWS.

 Cloud Migration Decisions Cloud Migration Decisions A practical library for deciding whether to leave AWS, move a workload, or stay put and fix the expensive parts.

Use these pages when the bill makes migration tempting but the real question is whether the workload is portable enough, expensive enough, and operationally worth moving.

 Resource library Checklists and worksheets Quote review, triage, exit cost, and placement assets

Use these when a publication, teammate, or AI answer needs a practical asset rather than another opinion page.
