• Type of storage matters • If you need local disk, Azure tends to be lowest • If no local disk, Google tends to be lowest • For attached volumes, Google and IBM • Discounting matters • Google is strong in on-demand for continuous workloads due to Sustained Use Discount • Azure Reserved Instances may reduce Azure prices further • Your negotiated discounts matter - especially for IBM, but also additional discounts for other clouds Tips 38
• AWS often provides more flexible options • Instances with or without local storage, storage with or without PIOPs • Partial/All Upfront 1yr RIs or 3 yr RIs or can save more • Google SUDs reduce On-Demand costs, CUDs save more • Is often the lowest cost (unless you require local storage) • Don’t use local storage unless you absolutely need it – Persistent Disk is cheaper • Azure IS matching or beating AWS On-Demand prices • Your level of EA discount makes a difference in your discounted costs • Consider Azure Reserved Instances (available shortly) • IBM is going to be about the negotiated discounts • Lower attached storage pricing • VERY good prices on Windows Cloud Provider Specific Tips
• Lowest cost depends on • Your use case • Your need for local storage • Amount and Type of RIs you are buying on AWS or CUDs on Google • Your level of discount on Azure and IBM • Make sure you… • Pick the right regions • Don’t overprovision • Make the right level of “commitments” to get discounts • Thinks Multi-Cloud • Negotiating leverage • Pick the lowest cost option for each dev/test/batch workload Takeaways

  • 39. • Type of storage matters • If you need local disk, Azure tends to be lowest • If no local disk, Google tends to be lowest • For attached volumes, Google and IBM • Discounting matters • Google is strong in on-demand for continuous workloads due to Sustained Use Discount • Azure Reserved Instances may reduce Azure prices further • Your negotiated discounts matter - especially for IBM, but also additional discounts for other clouds Tips 38
  • 40. • AWS often provides more flexible options • Instances with or without local storage, storage with or without PIOPs • Partial/All Upfront 1yr RIs or 3 yr RIs or can save more • Google SUDs reduce On-Demand costs, CUDs save more • Is often the lowest cost (unless you require local storage) • Don’t use local storage unless you absolutely need it – Persistent Disk is cheaper • Azure IS matching or beating AWS On-Demand prices • Your level of EA discount makes a difference in your discounted costs • Consider Azure Reserved Instances (available shortly) • IBM is going to be about the negotiated discounts • Lower attached storage pricing • VERY good prices on Windows Cloud Provider Specific Tips
  • 41. • Lowest cost depends on • Your use case • Your need for local storage • Amount and Type of RIs you are buying on AWS or CUDs on Google • Your level of discount on Azure and IBM • Make sure you… • Pick the right regions • Don’t overprovision • Make the right level of “commitments” to get discounts • Thinks Multi-Cloud • Negotiating leverage • Pick the lowest cost option for each dev/test/batch workload Takeaways
