Questions

• How do I calculate and compare costs for virtual machines and storage between each cloud provider?

Objectives

• Learn to create a table of cost comparison

We want to create a table that looks like this!

Resource Type	AWS	Azure	Google Cloud	AWS OD Hourly	Azure OD Hourly	Google Cloud OD Hourly
Standard 2 vCPU with SSD	m3.large	D2 v2	n1-standard-2	0.133	0.140	0.070
High Memory 2 vCPU with SSD	r3.large	D11 v2	n1-highmem-2	0.166	0.185	0.088
HighCPU 2 vCPU with SSD	c3.large	F2	n1-highcpu-2	0.105	0.124	0.053
Standard 2 vCPU with no SSD	m4.large	D2 v2	n1-standard-2	0.108	N/A	0.183
High Memory 2 vCPU with no SSD	r3.large	D11 v2	n1-highmem-2	0.166	N/A	0.201
HighCPU 2 vCPU with no SSD	c4.large	F2	n1-highcpu-2	0.100	N/A	0.166

Storage	s3	Blob Storage	Cloud Storage
per GB per month (all regions)	0.023	0.02	0.02

The calculators are located here:

AWS

Azure

Google

**Look closely at RAM and attached storage amount.

Key Points

• Choose comparable virtual machine setups (vCPUs, RAM, SSD,etc.) across the different cloud providers with and calculate and compare teh costs.
