Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:15 pm

Cloud-based virtual machines (VMs) offer a cost-effective alternative to on-premises infrastructure. AWS, Azure, and GCP offer different options for pricing and configuration, but all three platforms offer a wide variety of VM types and configurations.

AWS provides the cheapest option for VMs, but Azure and GCP offer more features and flexibility. Azure offers moreVM types, options for networking, and storage options.

PRO TIP: When considering your cheapest options for VMs on AWS, Azure and GCP, it is important to consider the long-term costs of running these VMs. In some cases, the upfront cost of a VM may be cheaper on one platform, but the monthly or annual costs may be higher. It is important to compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of each option before making a decision.

GCP offers more control over the underlying infrastructure, and is more powerful for high-traffic applications.

The conclusion is that each cloud provider offers its own unique set of benefits and costs, so it is important to choose the right one for your organization’s needs.
