I like google's implementation of it, since you commit to use a certain amount of CPU, and RAM, and not instance types. So you can commit to a 4cpu/15GB ram system, and a year later, double the size of the vm, and you still have the cheaper price on the first 4CPU/15GB of ram. And its per project. (I would love it if I could purchase per organization)

Yes, GCP has the best billing model. You purchase CPU/RAM capacity and it works the same whether on-demand, sustained use discount, or commitments.

Separating capacity from instance type makes it much more natural and easy to use for your actual requirements.
