I worked at an org that had a substantial on-prem GPU datacenter. We transitioned to <Big Cloud Provider> with a substantial negotiated discount rate, with part of the contract being we would sell them all of our hardware and not purchase any more.

How does this work? Is the OEM giving the cloud provider a big discount or is the cloud provider giving you a teaser rate to lock up your business.
