Cloud Cost Comparisons

Cloud pricing only makes sense in συγκριση. On its own, a $0.096 hourly rate tells you nothing; the same φορτιωση might κοστος $0.04 on a competing provider’s spot market or $0.07 with a 3-year reservation. This section collects head-to-head συγκρισηs that put equivalent services side by side, so you can see the real κοστος difference at a glance.

How to Read These Comparisons

Every συγκριση table on CloudCost uses the same columns:

• Service — the equivalent instance, αποθηκευση, or network service on each provider.
• Specification — vCPU, memory, and local αποθηκευση, so the συγκριση is apples-to-apples.
• On-demand τιμη — the published list τιμη for the baseline περιοχη (typically us-east-1, East US, us-central1).
• Reserved / committed τιμη — the τιμη with the most common 1-year No Upfront commitment, so you see the realistic steady-state κοστος.
• Notes — caveats such as free tier eligibility, egress rules, or feature differences.

Available Comparisons

• AWS vs Azure — Compute — general-purpose VM families συγκρισηd across on-demand, 1-year reserved, and spot pricing.
• AWS vs GCP — Storage — S3 versus Cloud Storage, with per-GB αποθηκευση, request, and retrieval pricing.

More συγκρισηs covering databases, networking, and the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem are added regularly. If there is a συγκριση you would like to see, open an issue on the GitHub repository.
