True, but how do you quantify the work? Real world on AWS is

Buy X capacity reserved

Buy Y capacity spot instance

Buy Z capacity on demand to fill in the peaks

And it becomes a function of putting in more time = cheaper total bill.

GCE workflow is:

Buy the instances you need, bill will work out at the end of the month.
