Concerning the Virtual Machine pricings on the discussed platforms, I'd like to mention that – on very small machines – running Windows Server is significantly more expensive on Google Loud than on AWS or Azure, because Google charges you the license fee directly whereas Azure or AWS seem to have a mixed calculation. Having the smallest Windows VM on AWS is like 6-7$/month, whereas on GCE you're at at least 14.60$ higher due to the license.
