Does GCP still have a cost advantage compared to AWS and Azure?



Yes, for most use-cases. Google "understanding cloud pricing"


It can, right up until Google decides to change the pricing structure on 30 days notice to make everything several times more expensive than before without any provision for grandfathering or transitioning existing clients. My company had to switch off GCP entirely due to pricing changes increasing costs by nearly 5x!

AWS and Azure are both much better about launching new pricing structures, and generally when they make something more expensive its because they're adding new features (and corresponding price tiers).
