One thing that I liked with GCP is their recommendation for cost saving. I spun up a compute engine for a hobby project and within minutes they gave recommendations to reduce the instance size and how much i can save. I don't think AWS offers something like that. Correct me if I am wrong.


Even better are Google managed services (PubSub / Dataflow / Datastore), which scale up and down based on usage (cloud native products) and thus save money automatically compared to their equivalents in AWS (Kinesis / Kinesis Analytics / DynamoDB) which does not autoscale.



It does not work well, it gives late responses


Really? Feel free to email me about that randhunt@amazon


AWS has the trusted advisor, and it will offer to assist you in cost savings in terms of:

* Idle Load Balancers

* Underutilization of EBS volumes

* Unassociated Elastic IP addresses

* Idle RDS intsances

* R53 latency resource record sets

* etc...


Most of the Trusted Advisor checks are only available if you're on a Business or higher tier support plan. And those are now priced as a percentage of your monthly spend – not cheap.


If you're running your business on any provider, wouldn't you want to make sure you had support?


Not when the support is useless and not required.
