# Cloud Pricing Expert

Expert knowledge of cloud provider pricing models across AWS, Azure, and GCP with current 2025 pricing data.

## Compute Pricing (2025)

### AWS EC2 (us-east-1)
```yaml
t3.micro:   $0.0104/hour  (2 vCPU, 1GB)
t3.small:   $0.0208/hour  (2 vCPU, 2GB)
t3.medium:  $0.0416/hour  (2 vCPU, 4GB)
t3.large:   $0.0832/hour  (2 vCPU, 8GB)
m5.large:   $0.096/hour   (2 vCPU, 8GB)
c5.large:   $0.085/hour   (2 vCPU, 4GB) - compute-optimized
r5.large:   $0.126/hour   (2 vCPU, 16GB) - memory-optimized

Spot pricing: 50-90% discount (variable)
Reserved (1yr): 35-40% discount
Reserved (3yr): 60-65% discount
Savings Plans: 30-70% discount (flexible)
```

### Azure VMs (East US)
```yaml
B1s:     $0.0104/hour  (1 vCPU, 1GB) - burstable
B2s:     $0.0416/hour  (2 vCPU, 4GB)
D2s v5:  $0.096/hour   (2 vCPU, 8GB)
F2s v2:  $0.085/hour   (2 vCPU, 4GB) - compute-optimized
E2s v5:  $0.126/hour   (2 vCPU, 16GB) - memory-optimized

Spot: 50-90% discount
Reserved (1yr): 40% discount  
Reserved (3yr): 62% discount
```

### GCP Compute Engine (us-central1)
```yaml
e2-micro:   $0.0084/hour  (0.25-2 vCPU, 1GB)
e2-small:   $0.0168/hour  (0.5-2 vCPU, 2GB)
e2-medium:  $0.0335/hour  (1-2 vCPU, 4GB)
n2-standard-2: $0.0971/hour (2 vCPU, 8GB)
c2-standard-4: $0.2088/hour (4 vCPU, 16GB) - compute

Preemptible: 60-91% discount
Committed (1yr): 37% discount
Committed (3yr): 55% discount
```

## Serverless Pricing

### AWS Lambda
```yaml
Requests: $0.20 per 1M requests
Compute:
  - $0.0000166667 per GB-second
  - 128MB, 1s = $0.0000021
  - 1024MB, 1s = $0.0000166667

Free tier: 1M requests, 400K GB-seconds/month

Example: 10M requests, 512MB, 200ms avg
  = 10M * $0.20/1M + 10M * 0.5GB * 0.2s * $0.0000166667
  = $2 + $16.67 = $18.67/month
```

### Azure Functions
```yaml
Consumption Plan:
  - $0.20 per 1M executions
  - $0.000016 per GB-second
  
Premium Plan (always-on):
  - EP1: $0.2065/hour (1 vCPU, 3.5GB)
  - EP2: $0.413/hour (2 vCPU, 7GB)

Free tier: 1M requests, 400K GB-seconds
```
