Cloud Cost Comparisons

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

How to Read These Comparisons

Every perbandingan table on CloudCost uses the same columns:

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

Available Comparisons

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

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