Pretty sure a typo and the million wanted to be a kilo? $120m/year for apparently unnecessary IT capacity would be hard to hide even in government contracts...
$120m is not ridiculous for a medium to large enterprise. For an engineering team of ~1000, just the build servers will cost about $1-5m a month (depending on what's being done there).

The guy is lying, obviously.
Maybe, maybe not. But I think I agree with you- 10m/m is a comically large number(I wonder how many companies spend even 1/100th of that a month on cloud compute?) and I have no reason to believe this person so why would I?

$1000+/month/per engineer sounds way too high.

I think it would be easy to hit especially if you were spending on cloud SAAS offerings + actually have a lot of users. I know I've managed to spend a few $10K/month on a project before - and it was actually celebrated because it was less than half the cost of what it was replacing.
What?

Definitely not. My company has been drastically scaling back our AWS spend and I mean about a $10m+ a month reduction. I guarantee we're not alone. All the gee-whiz resume-driven-development type project infrastructure was the first to go lol.

Not impossible at all to believe they could cut $10M/month from could spend at a big enough company just by trying.

For the big 3 cloud providers, even if their cloud did contract significantly, they are all poised to earn more on the other parts of their business to make up for it.
Amazon as a retailer, sure, but why would this be true for Microsoft (software licenses) or Google (ads)?
Google is getting more traffic than ever I'm sure with people stuck at home and looking to buy or do things online. All of which are advertising their services in Google.
