| AWS offers four main pricing models:
i) On demand: The services you need at any given time. Services are billed by the hour or second of actual use.This provides a lot of flexibility.
ii) Savings plans: A flexible pricing model that lets you use Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate at a low cost, with a commitment to a certain level of spend on all services.
iii) Reserved instances: Provides a discount of up to 72%, in exchange for a commitment to use a specific compute instance for a term of one or three years. Amazon lets you pay some or all of the amount upfront, and this affects the level of discount you receive.
iv) Spot Instances: A pricing mechanism that lets you buy Amazon’s spare compute capacity at a discount of up to 90% off the on-demand rate. There is no upfront commitment.

ii)Azure Hybrid Benefit: This is a bring your own license (BYOL) model, in which you can leverage existing licenses for Microsoft products, such as Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server, to get discounts for Azure services that include the same software.
iii) Reserved VMs: Azure offers Reserved Virtual Machine Instances (RVMIs), which provide a discount of up to 72% in exchange for a long term commitment of 1 or 3 years.
iv) Spot VMs: lets you purchase spare compute capacity on Azure at a discount of up to 90% compared to pay-as-you-go rates. Azure spot VM capabilities are less advanced than Amazon and fewer options for running spot instances in combination pay as you go or reserved instances.
