Technically true, but they do it a little different, where by they add different SKU;s with higher prices, and discontinue the old SKU's forcing you to move to a "new product" instead of just increasing the prices.
Not all services are like that but they just did that with compute instances, I believe this is the second time they have killed off a "generation" of compute
- acdha 5y agoDo you have any examples of this? It makes sense that old hardware be replaced but it's usually over a LONG lifecycle and the new instance type pricing is often lower than the previous generation.
