Methodology and assumptions
Uses current us-east-1 Linux On-Demand and us-central1 list rates. Match vCPU and memory with the spec table below: t3 types are burstable and t3.medium has 4 GiB versus 8 GiB on e2-standard-2. E2 machine types are not eligible for sustained use discounts. This is a unit-rate scenario, not a claim of feature equivalence. Architecture, availability, performance, discounts, ancillary services, and regional behavior can materially change the result.
