GCP price = AWS on-demand
GCP preemptible = AWS spot
GCP commitment price = AWS reserved instances
Rough comparison. GCP preemptible instances only live 24 hours max and have a set rate, no bidding. GCP commitments are based on CPU/RAM combinations rather than instances. GCP also has automatic sustained use discounts on the normal price if you run an instance > 80% of the month.
- simpsond 7y agoMaybe a little off topic: AWS also has savings plans now, which gives a discount based on a commitment of hourly spend on compute. A bit easier to manage than RIs.
