> That's 28,108.80 a month

That is right. We had ~100K / month with on prem Hadoop (energy, networking, OPS, enterprise support, etc. included) that could have been moved to Redshift to save money. However, when we did the comparison a different cloud based solution came out as the winer for our DWH needs. The point is, showing a single number without showing how much it would be with other solutions is pointless. There are several companies that can easily afford a ~29K/month DWH in the cloud.
