I'd be surprised if more small businesses hadn't, the credits sales people are willing to give you are massive

Yea, that is also my experience working mostly in startups. I wonder if they will keep up this credit strategy.

I've bounced between AWS, Azure, and GCP. Once they get entrenched enough the credits stop but right now it's GCP with the best incentives.

Also, don't sleep on Oracle. Their cloud platform is stupidly competitive price-wise but limited feature-wise. If you're just looking for basic compute and storage they can't be beat, sans credits.

Good point with Oracle. As much as I don't like their company the pricing for compute is significantly lower than AWS (didn't compare others).
