One thing that I liked with GCP is their recommendation for cost saving. I spun up a compute engine for a hobby project and within minutes they gave recommendations to reduce the instance size and how much i can save. I don't think AWS offers something like that. Correct me if I am wrong.
- mianosm 9y agoAWS has the trusted advisor, and it will offer to assist you in cost savings in terms of: * Idle Load Balancers * Underutilization of EBS volumes * Unassociated Elastic IP addresses * Idle RDS intsances * R53 latency resource record sets * etc...
- BurritoAlPastor 9y agoMost of the Trusted Advisor checks are only available if you're on a Business or higher tier support plan. And those are now priced as a percentage of your monthly spend – not cheap.
- illumin8 9y agoIf you're running your business on any provider, wouldn't you want to make sure you had support?

- obulpathi 9y agoEven better are Google managed services (PubSub / Dataflow / Datastore), which scale up and down based on usage (cloud native products) and thus save money automatically compared to their equivalents in AWS (Kinesis / Kinesis Analytics / DynamoDB) which does not autoscale.
