The Scenario: This cloud native billing cartoon features a CFO who has reached his thermal limit.
Brandishing a massive, floor-length "Cloud-Native Monthly Invoice," he is literally on fire with rage as he points to a preposterous line item: "$34,700 for keeping things warm."
It perfectly skewers the hyper-granular nature of cloud-native systems, where the price of "availability" is often the CFO’s sanity.
The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Combustion Cost."
This cartoon mocks how cloud-native architecture hides massive financial leaks behind innocent-sounding technical jargon.
When a "warm start" costs more than a luxury vehicle, the infrastructure isn't just scalable—it's flammable.
The humor stems from the reality that in 2026, the only thing "warmer" than the servers is the CFO’s temper when the monthly bill arrives.
A cloud-native bill is the only document capable of raising the office temperature by forty degrees without using the HVAC.
