in both cases, +disk, +traffic
Not exactly a crippling difference.
- brianwawok 10y agoExcept google gives you a discount just for using the instance. Amazon requires prepayment
- vacri 10y agoSwings and roundabouts. AWS gets flak for having expensive data transfer costs; Google's data transfer costs are even higher (both listed at same links above). My point is that when you compare apples to apples, it's really not all that different.
- nostrademons 10y agoOh interesting...are nano instances new? Didn't see them last time I was looking for a "just throw up a demo" machine.
- vacri 10y agoThey've been around for a few months, but like all new AWS things, they're being slowly rolled out across regions, so may not be available everywhere. Flick through the 'region' dropdown in that pricing link to see if they're available where you want them. The micro went from 0.6G to 1G ram in the 't2' generation, and the nano fills the need people have for the old micro size. I use them for bastion/nat boxes :)
