Cloud price comparisons are often apples to oranges. Due in part to an extremely large number of hidden factors. I'm not just talking about direct cost, but even 1vCPU != 1vCPU. When discussing s3/gcs storage; for instance, you would need to understand the difference between each of the storage classes and how they're charged for access. This would look much more like a series of a million graphs than a table. On the…

And the vCPUs change at providers too. It used to be that AWS Lightsail was consistently the poorest performing vCPU in our tests, but yesterday their 4vCPU instances were beating other cloud providers. Despite ostensibly having a slower clock speed according to /proc/cpuinfo

Generally for EC2 AWS is transparent about which CPU model and clock speed they are using.

For other services, not so much. Like, is 1 CPU / Memory in Fargate the same as in App Runner and Lambda?
