Why the totals differ
Google Cloud is significantly cheaper for this Extra Small Teleport deployment at $0.08/month, compared to AWS and Azure which both cost around $435/month. This vast difference is primarily due to Google Cloud's sustained use discounts, which are not explicitly modeled in the AWS or Azure on-demand pricing for this tier. While on-demand pricing is used here, a commitment term like a 1-year reservation on AWS or Azure would substantially reduce their costs, potentially altering the cost leader.
