"JEDI also asks for “32 GB of RAM”—the precise specification of Amazon’s services. (Microsoft, by contrast, offers only 28 GB, and Google provides 30 GB.)"

What? Microsoft only provides 28 GB of RAM, and Google only 30 GB? I'm pretty sure neither Azure nor GCP even launched with limits that strict.

Well they probably have an upper tier. If it costs the same it's to be seen.

But yeah, if Google or Microsoft engineers can't create a custom instance with 32GB of memory then they shouldn't get the bid

While the Azure D series and G series are 14/28/56/112/140, the F series is available with base 2 increments.
