It's not as bad as it seems in my quick little research. They don't have the scale of the other BIG cloud providers, so I could understand why it could be more expensive, but apparently for compute-optimized loads, they are the cheapest (of the big ones).

Their storage is also apparently the cheapest compared to other BIG providers.

If they are going for a higher service level and featureset than the cheapest clouds, then that also explains the price.

Anyways, think this one example doesnt paint the picture properly (according to quick research, so I may be wrong, lemme know if u know i am).
