Why the totals differ
Google Cloud is significantly cheaper for this InfluxDB Enterprise configuration, costing less than a dollar per month compared to AWS at $663 and Azure at $749. This vast difference is primarily due to Google Cloud's sustained use discounts, which are applied automatically. While AWS and Azure offer reserved instance pricing, the on-demand nature of this tier means those discounts are not factored in, making Google Cloud's automatic sustained use a key differentiator.
