Which makes a lot of sense. AWS Windows machines cost ~50% more compared to Linux boxes. I was quite surprised at Windows pricing actually; that made it an easy decision to make given that .Net core has been stable on Linux for a while now.
- GordonS 6y agoI work with Azure a lot more than I do AWS, but even on Azure Windows VMs cost a lot more than Linux ones - typically around 75% more for smaller VMs, and 40% for larger ones, which means you can easily end up paying thousands each year on Windows licenses. Honestly, their high pricing of Windows VMs is insane - it's like they don't even want you to use them!
