Why the totals differ
Google Cloud is significantly cheaper for this YugabyteDB configuration at $0.15/month, while AWS and Azure are over $1000/month. This vast difference stems from Google Cloud's sustained use discounts, which are not explicitly modeled in the AWS and Azure on-demand pricing for this specific instance type. A longer commitment term or reserved instance purchase on AWS or Azure would substantially reduce their costs, potentially making them competitive.
