Cloud Cost Comparisons

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

How to Read These Comparisons

Every сравнение table on CloudCost uses the same columns:

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

Available Comparisons

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