Disk costs at Amazon are an annoyance when you need to spin up a VM just for a few days. Apparently you pay for the entire month in advance even if you just need it for a shorter period.
Whereas Azure disk costs for VMs accrue on a daily basis.
- zerocrates 7y agoWhat kind of disk costs? I'm fairly certain this is not how EBS works: you pay only for the time you have the storage provisioned. I think the granularity on that calculation goes down to the level of seconds? Much smaller units than months, at any rate.
- sixothree 7y agoThat's not what we were finding in our bill. Maybe it's the way we provisioned the VMs or something. But we don't have this issue with Azure. We can see the daily cost associated with the disks.
