For example, a VM.Standard.E4.Flex (AMD x86) with 1 OCPU (2 vCPU) and 4GB RAM with burstable baseline 50% is just ~$13.05&amp;#x2F;month (($0.025*50% + 4*$0.0015)*730hr). With baseline 12.5% it is just ~$6.66&amp;#x2F;month.&lt;p&gt;In comparison, AWS t3a.medium (2vCPU, 4GB RAM, burstable baseline 20%) will cost ~$27.45&amp;#x2F;month ($0.0376*730hr). DigitalOcean&amp;#x27;s 2vCPU 4GB Droplet will cost $24&amp;#x2F;month.</text></comment>
