IMO stuff like this should be built in. Google Cloud has a few recommenders (https://cloud.google.com/recommender/docs/recommenders https://cloud.google.com/recommender/docs/recommenders), but it'd probably make sense to expand those to nearly all resources.
- yonixw 7y agoBut can you expect the merchant to tell you to buy less?
- m0zg 7y agoAt a minimum I expect the seller to not try to deliberately confuse me as to what I'm paying for, which is something AWS does to its customers. Google instead aggregates all your resource usage into a coherent UI and presents billing information in a form you don't need third party tools to understand.
- nickpsecurity 7y agoYou should expect the seller to maximize their profit however they can. Also, sellers that show no sign of ethics shouldn't be trusted period. Amazon is definitely one. Putting your stuff in the Amazon cloud worrying about deceptive practices or overcharging is asking the fox to guard the hen house. Pick a different provider(s) with a better track record. Alternatively, choose Amazon saying its benefits outweigh its deceptive practices. Whichever.
