What's inside
Hyperscaler bills doubled in three years for most B2B SaaS, then doubled again on egress. The math now favors private cloud for steady-state workloads — but the migration has to land in a single window or it never lands at all. This field manual documents the exact pattern Ultiblob engineers run for repatriation engagements: pre-flight inventory, parallel build, cut-over window, rollback path, and the line-item TCO worksheet we hand to your CFO.
Table of contents
- Pre-flight: workload inventory, dependency graph, hidden-cost audit
- Parallel build: private cloud topology, identity, networking, storage
- Data sync window: change-data-capture vs snapshot-and-replay tradeoffs
- Cut-over runbook: 4-hour window template, validation checkpoints
- Rollback path: DNS-level and IP-level reversion patterns
- TCO worksheet (Notion + CSV): your public-cloud bill in, side-by-side proposal out

Private Cloud TCO Worksheet
Editable spreadsheet (Notion-shareable) that takes your public cloud bill and produces a side-by-side Ultiblob proposal. Same math we run for free TCO assessments.
