I am shocked to learn that I can get a 32GB RAM VM from AWS for cheaper than a 961GB RAM VM from GCP. It looks like the author just went to https://cloud.googl

I am shocked to learn that I can get a 32GB RAM VM from AWS for cheaper than a 961GB RAM VM from GCP. It looks like the author just went to https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing#memory-optimized https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing#memory-... under the assumption that "memory-optimized" was what they needed, not realizing that "memory-optimized" is for truly ridiculous workloads with terabytes of RAM. For "compute optimized" they're comparing ARM Graviton2 ("price performance optimized") AWS instances (I don't know where; I can't find any that cost >$0.2/hr) in to 3.8GHz Intel Cascade Lake ("highest performance per core") GCP instances... in LA.
