Cloud Pricing Comparison of AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud (2023 Guide)
Moving to the cloud is not to happen, not any time soon. The biggest proof of this is increasing global spending on cloud computing. It reached the mark of $90 billion in 2022, nearly 21% more than what it was in 2021. The blogpost gave a quick overview of cloud pricing comparison of AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud. Predictions for 2023 have already been made. Gartner revealed that the world is going to spend nearly $592 billion in 2023. These statistics are enough to make us conclude that every new or established business will spend some amount on cloud services sooner or later. As you also join the league, you need to discover the price differences that leading service providers, AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, share. This understanding will help you hire cloud services according to your spending capacity and requirements.
Pay attention to the service availability ● Make a list of key services you need and find out which cloud computing service provider offers them. For instance, if you need fully managed MySQL services, you need to go with AWS, as it provides this facility in all the regions. Azure has this service delivery in limited regions. A bastion host is available in Azure but is absent in AWS. Hence, you need to determine your service requirements and check which cloud computing provider offers those services. Skills requirement ● No matter which Cloud service provider you pick, you need to ensure that the tool demands skills that your Dev team already has. If the tool is too complex to handle or process, you will end up investing more in learning and training. Offered Infra Support ● No matter how seamless a tool seems, tech support is always required. From set-up to management, ideal support will make things better and sorted. Check out the support offered and pick one that aligns the most with your requirements
Detailed Cloud Pricing Comparison of AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud There is no doubt that these three service providers are forming global cloud computing and are famous for offering a wide range of services. Are all these services should be a part of the price comparison? No. Certain services contribute majorly towards the total price of the service. You need to pay attention to these as they will impact your budget. Here are the services we considered for this detailed price comparison. ● Server ● Cloud Storage ● Computing ● 1-year Commitment ● On-demand price
AWS ● The cloud computing leader, AWS, charges users a pay-per-minute pricing model. It’s a complex model and often faces inaccurate consumption calculations. It also provides an integrated price calculated, but as so many instances are involved, it hardly brings any value. Microsoft Azure ● To introduce, Microsoft is the second leader of the global cloud market. It offers a pay-per-minute pricing model. While it’s not as inaccurate as the pricing model of AWS, it’s certainly a bit complicated. The situation-based discounts and licensing model during price calculation add up the complexity. Google Cloud Platform or GCP ● With nearly 7% of the market share, GCP is the 3rd leader of the global cloud market and follows the pay-per-second billing option to charge its services. That was a quick overview of the pricing model followed.
