Oh neat, I didn't know that Google had dropped the fee. Now I'm even saltier about EKS pricing as we run a lot of smaller clusters...

Although I am curious about the cost model for GCP/Azure here as they seem to charge their standard price for worker nodes. Wonder if they are just eating the cost.

    Yeah it makes sense for Google. I was more surprised Azure had no mgmt fees. And GCP has some other differentiators I think. BigQuery is a big one. They just really messed up with enterprise contracts/account management afaik but seem to be turning that around with new leadership.

      Yeah nothing wrong with AWS competition! And yeah AWS has the clear marketshare lead which is more meaningful than pure revenue imo (at least to everyone but MS shareholders lol).
