INSTRUCTIONS

There are major differences in pricing and cloud offerings between the three major cloud providers:
AWS
Microsoft Azure
Google Cloud
As part of a “go to the cloud” initiative at your place of work, you have been tasked with researching the different cloud providers to better understand how they charge for their services. Management has asked that you build a report which lists the different pricing for what the cloud providers offer then explain what impact the different pricing models would have on an organization.

PART 1

Create a table that has name and rate of billing for each of the cloud providers’ cloud services that provides:
Compute
Storage
Databases
Machine Learning (ML) / Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Security & Identity (Do not include billing for this one)
PART 2
Write a 400-600 word essay highlighting the differences between the pricing you collected in Part 1. Feel free to be creative when responding to this section, it is important that you research what companies look for in cloud infrastructure and reference them in your essay.
Topics you may choose from include:
The types of workloads that favor one provider over another in terms of cost
A cost comparison between the providers on a defined workload (such as 10 instances, 10TB of storage, 5 DB servers, and 5 ML/AI servers)
A recommended approach on building the lowest cost infrastructure
