Yeah; citation needed. I've never seen an instance of a price increase. I can find multiple forums of people claiming Amazon has never increased prices.
The only instance I can find of any cloud provider increasing prices was once in 2015 when Microsoft did in Europe...and while that led to a flurry of "cloud providers are going to increase prices" blog posts and things, calmer heads noted the exchange rates as the likely reason (and, certainly, the claims that prices would increase across the board never came to pass).
- watermelon0 6y agoI remember Google starting to charge for managed Kubernetes clusters a year or two ago, I think the cost went from 0 to 75$ per month.
- temp667 6y agoGoogle has raised prices on all sorts of things - I think AWS is one with rep for not raising prices. Maps API's I think went up pretty big time on google side.

- temp667 6y agoYeah - here's some coverage. https://geoawesomeness.com/developers-up-in-arms-over-google-maps-api-insane-price-hike/ https://geoawesomeness.com/developers-up-in-arms-over-google... That plus shutdowns of things - google is not most stable
- lostcolony 6y agoThat's fair, though I'd consider APIs to be a different beast than a cloud IaaS sort of thing. Maybe that's the distinction worth making, IaaS vs SaaS or similar. But fair point either way.
