Cloud Providers

CloudCost bandingkans pricing across the four cloud providers most commonly used by global engineering teams. Each provider has a distinct pricing model, free tier, and diskon program, and understanding these differences is the first step to lowering your cloud bill.

The Four Providers

  • AWS (Amazon Web Services) — the largest cloud provider by market share, with the broadest catalog of services and the most granular pricing options.
  • Microsoft Azure — the enterprise-focused cloud, tightly integrated with Windows Server, Active Directory, and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — known for sustained-use diskons, per-second billing, and strong data and machine-learning services.
  • Alibaba Cloud — the leading cloud in China and a strong choice for beban kerjas that need presence in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

How to Choose

The right provider depends on your beban kerja, region, and team expertise. Use the perbandingans in the next section to see how equivalent services stack up on harga, then use the biaya kalkulator to model your specific beban kerja. For long-running steady-state beban kerjas, pay close attention to reserved instance pricing; for bursty or fault-tolerant beban kerjas, spot instances can cut biayas by up to 90 percent.
