• AWS EC2 instance billing: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-instance-hour-billing/
• GCP billing model: https://cloud.google.com/compute/pricing#billingmodel
• Update 18.9.2017 - AWS announces per second billing
• Update 26.9.2017 - GCP extends per second billing

Conclusions

• For short experiments GCP seems to be smarter choice than On-Demand AWS EC2
• If you already started an EC2 instance it’s better to utilize it until it reaches full hour (any interesting ideas?)
