Google Compute Engine
Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS).
Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk
AWS Elastic Beanstalk offers a user-friendly platform for deploying and scaling web applications and services built using various programming languages such as Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker, utilizing well-known servers like Apache, Nginx, Passenger, and IIS. By merely uploading your code, Elastic Beanstalk takes care of the entire deployment process, which includes capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and monitoring application health. Importantly, you maintain complete control over the AWS resources that support your application and can access the underlying infrastructure whenever necessary. There is no extra cost associated with Elastic Beanstalk itself; you are charged solely for the AWS resources required to store and operate your applications. Notably, Elastic Beanstalk is considered the quickest and most straightforward method for deploying your application on AWS. You can effortlessly upload your application using the AWS Management Console, a Git repository, or an integrated development environment (IDE) like Eclipse or Visual Studio, ensuring a seamless integration into your workflow. This flexibility allows developers to focus on coding rather than worrying about the intricacies of deployment.
