Compared to what? Useless to compare anything without numbers.

  Compared to what? The compute market in general. AWS is a premium provider charging premium prices, they've essentially priced themselves as the most expensive provider on the market. It feels insane to describe them as "very cheap". You might as well be calling a Bugatti Chiron "pretty cheap". Any datacenter provider will be able to sell you compute time at a fraction of the cost of EC2. Look at OVH for example.

    Spot instances are insanely cheap, not talking about EC2.

      EC2 spot instances are still EC2.

        But cheaper.
