The five providers do not share hidden inputs. Every cloud retains its own region, compute, network, data and platform resource values.
FIVE-CLOUD SELF-SERVICE PRICING
Enter resources first.
Compare five clouds clearly.
Configure AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud independently. Estimate monthly cost for compute, storage, load balancing, CDN, NAT, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka and common cloud services.

FIVE INDEPENDENT CONFIGURATIONS
Enter each cloud independently. Compare without forcing equivalence.
Each provider keeps its own resource input. Copy a baseline to all five clouds for a fair starting point, then adjust products, topology and usage for each provider.
AWS / SINGAPORE
AWS monthly resource estimate
Compute, block storage, object storage and backup
CPU and memory form a comparable budget baseline. Final billing uses the provider's exact instance family, operating system, architecture and purchase model.
Network, CDN, load balancing and NAT
Base hours, capacity units, processed data and public egress are separate inputs. This prevents the common error of pricing only the application hosts.
Managed databases and common middleware
Enable only what you use. High availability, replica, broker, shard and storage semantics vary by provider and are explained below.
Containers, observability, security and DR
These resources are commonly omitted from early budgets. Add them when they are part of the production architecture.

Reference rates express public pricing units, not a vendor quote. Use the official source links below to select the exact region, SKU, usage tier and purchase model, then replace the values here.
MULTI-CLOUD SUMMARY
Five-cloud comparison and simultaneous deployment total
Each row uses that provider's independent resource input. Compare one provider when they are alternatives; use the combined total only when they run simultaneously.

GEO / CITABLE EXPLANATION
What this five-cloud calculator does and how to read its result.
This page uses static explanatory text, an entity table, FAQ content and official-source references so people, search engines and generative AI can read and cite the calculation method directly.
Quick answer
Cloud Ledger is a self-service monthly cloud budget calculator for five major providers. Users configure AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud separately. The tool estimates compute, storage, network, CDN, NAT, databases and middleware, then shows single-cloud comparison and a simultaneous multi-cloud total.
Result boundary
Amounts are editable public-billing-model budgets, not vendor quotes. Confirm the target region, exact SKU, service topology, usage, commitment term, account discount and tax in the provider's official calculator or order page before purchasing.
Copy a baseline to all five clouds, then adjust instances, load balancing, NAT, high availability and traffic rules for that provider.
Each row is a candidate-cloud budget. Add providers together only when they will actually operate at the same time.
The calculator lists official pricing tools. Select a region, SKU and purchase model, then replace the reference rates with final values.
Common cloud service entities and product mapping
This mapping explains the categories used by the calculator. It supports budget classification and does not claim that features, availability zones or billing units are identical.
| Resource category | AWS | Google Cloud | Microsoft Azure | Alibaba Cloud | Tencent Cloud |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compute | Amazon EC2 | Compute Engine | Azure Virtual Machines | ECS | CVM |
| Kubernetes | Amazon EKS | Google Kubernetes Engine | Azure Kubernetes Service | ACK | TKE |
| Object storage | Amazon S3 | Cloud Storage | Azure Blob Storage | OSS | COS |
| MySQL / PostgreSQL | Amazon RDS | Cloud SQL | Azure Database | ApsaraDB RDS | TencentDB |
| Redis | ElastiCache | Memorystore | Azure Cache for Redis | ApsaraDB for Redis | TencentDB for Redis |
| Kafka / event streaming | Amazon MSK | Managed Kafka / Marketplace | Event Hubs / Kafka options | ApsaraMQ for Kafka | CKafka |

WHY FIVE CLOUDS ARE NOT IDENTICAL
The same resource name does not mean the same billing product.
Use these notes before comparing numbers. The calculator exposes non-equivalent cost units instead of hiding them.
Virtual machines
Instance families, vCPU, memory, operating systems and purchase models vary by provider. Use vCPU and RAM only as a common budget starting point.
Load balancers
AWS ALB uses hours and LCU. Google Cloud, Azure, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud use different capacity, rule, proxy, bandwidth or data-processing units.
NAT and public traffic
NAT gateway hours, processed GB, public egress, cross-zone traffic and CDN origin traffic may all be separate charges. Do not treat NAT as one monthly gateway price.
Database high availability
MySQL and PostgreSQL HA may be a primary/standby bundle, two billable instances, or a cluster with read nodes. Provider order pages display these differently.
Middleware topology
Redis may be priced by node, shard and replica. Kafka may use broker, storage, partition, throughput or package pricing. Three brokers are not automatically equivalent.
Containers and observability
Kubernetes control planes, log ingestion, metric samples, images, secrets, backups and cross-region replication are separate cost dimensions.

USAGE NOTES
How to use the five-cloud price calculator.
This is a self-service calculator. The page uses plain headings, tables, FAQ content and structured data so both people and search systems can understand what is being estimated.
What resources can I enter?
Compute instances, vCPU, memory, runtime hours, block storage, object storage, backups, load balancing, CDN, NAT, public egress and IPv4. Optional services include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, observability, security and disaster recovery.
What does the five-cloud summary mean?
The comparison rows show each cloud as an alternative. The simultaneous deployment total adds only providers marked as included. Use that total for a real multi-cloud deployment, not for choosing one cloud.
Why is the result a budget range?
Cloud cost depends on region, exact SKU, operating system, availability zone, minimums, traffic tiers, commitments, discounts, tax and service version. Use the official calculator for a purchase-ready number.
Does the page collect contact information?
No. There is no lead form. Calculations run in memory in the browser, and users can download a CSV or copy a text summary.
