I'm referring to Linux instances. Also Azure charges you for both ingress and egress traffic. I've looked into it many times.

- tyingq 11y agoMy example above is Linux, and Azure is cheaper for that one specific example. Just making the point that it's not easy to compare. You mention one reason above. It's not as simple as "Azure charges for both ingress/egress." For example, Azure includes 5TB/month ingress/egress. AWS 1TB/egress, unlimited ingress. I imagine in some cases that 5TB in/out is better than 1TB/unlimited. There are many others, like the fact that the instances don't have many 1:1 matchups across providers. Add in things like load balancing, storage, etc, and it gets more complex. It does appear that Azure is usually more expensive, but it's not so easy to tell for sure.
- chgeuer 11y ago@devsquid: Azure for sure does not charge ingress traffic. Just google for "azure pricing ingress" and you find "Inbound data transfers (i.e. data going into Azure data centers): Free"
