Why the totals differ
Google Cloud is significantly cheaper for this Artifactory configuration at $0.13/month, while AWS and Azure are comparably priced around $750/month. This stark difference is due to Google Cloud's sustained use discounts, which are not reflected in the on-demand pricing for AWS or Azure at this tier. For AWS and Azure, utilizing reserved instances would substantially reduce costs, potentially shifting the overall cost comparison.
