Curious: have they ever increased prices of existing Google Cloud services? As far as I know, AWS only ever decreases prices on services for example

AWS has increased prices, most recently when they started charging for static IPs (even ones attached to a running instance).

GCP has seen price increases: https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/14/inflation-is-real-google-cloud-raises-its-storage-prices/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/14/inflation-is-real-google-c... Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30671997 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30671997

"Coders howl over Google's App Engine price hike (natch)" https://www.theregister.com/2011/09/02/google_app_engine_users_on_pricing_change/ https://www.theregister.com/2011/09/02/google_app_engine_use... I don't know if Google App Engine falls under Google Cloud services, but either way that's just a technicality; the sentiment remains the same.

    In my world, most production services need to last longer than twelve years, so need relative pricing stability and no complete pricing restructures over a longer period. Perhaps your world is different.

      I sort of agree, and I also posted other aspects, but please note this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address... We are introducing a new charge for public IPv4 addresses. Effective February 1, 2024 there will be a charge of $0.005 per IP per hour for all public IPv4 addresses, whether attached to a service or not
