Before you choose
Compare free access and starting prices
AWS and Apache CloudStack show free plans, and AWS also lists a free trial. Paid starting rates include $4 per month for DigitalOcean Droplets, €1.99 per month for Aruba Cloud and £5 per month for Brightbox.
Check whether the listed price is a starting rate, a request-based quote or a free plan before choosing.
Match the infrastructure services
The comparison covers virtual machines, managed Kubernetes, object storage, regions and infrastructure as code. These fields help match a provider to the services your workload needs.
A product focused on object storage, such as Exoscale SOS, may suit a storage-led deployment. A bare-metal service, such as CoreWeave Bare Metal Servers, addresses a different infrastructure need.
Check where you can manage it
Confirm that the platform you use for administration or automation is supported before committing.
A web platform can cover browser-based access, while an API or self-hosted option may fit an automated or privately managed setup.
Review open-source options
Some entries make their source code available. Before deployment, review the project's licence and maintenance practices if you need to inspect or modify that code.
