Except that Google Cloud cross zone and cross region (US) prices are much less than AWS.

    Ingress	                                Free  
    Egress inner-zone	                        Free  
    Egress cross-zone in the same region	$0.01  
    Egress cross-region within the US	        $0.01

They seem pretty comparable to me? Cross-region is $0.02, inner-zone is free, and cross-zone is free or $0.01.

I could have sworn AWS prices cross-zone used to be higher maybe this changed recently. Or... I was just wrong. :-)

Don't feel bad, I'd forgotten this one: "Using a public or Elastic IPv4 address => $0.01 per GB". I'm sad we still don't have a proper split horizon DNS to encourage internal IP usage, but I can't imagine charging for it in the same zone.

TL;DR: Starting at - $3.69/GB/mo (US), US$4.11/GB/mo (Ireland),

assuming reserved instances with 1yr All Upfront pricing, not counting the really huge xlarge+SSD instances.

Which is its own form of complexity.

All these cloud offerings are priced so complex you can pretty much expect some nasty gotcha unless you spend an inordinate amount of time modeling your workload and traffic patterns.

And if something changes you can do it all over again.
