Cloud providers offer hundreds of services with complex pricing models, and when you add Israel-specific regions (AWS il-central-1 and GCP me-west1) alongside local providers like Kamatera, comparison becomes a real challenge. Data transfer costs, Israeli data residency requirements, latency considerations, and startup credits are all unique factors in the Israeli market. This skill enables precise cloud cost comparison while accounting for all parameters relevant to deployment in Israel.

סה"כ סבבה. אבל אמזון נתנו לי חצי שנה חינם ו 100 דולר שדי הטה את הכף לטובת AWS ואין לזה התחיסות ברגע שאמרתי לו שיש לי את זה אז הוא אמר שזו הבחירה הכי טובה בשבילי. אבל אולי יש עוד מצבעים כאלה בספקים האחרים שהוא לא יודע להגיד עליהם שזה די פספוס.
תודה על הפידבק רותם. נדאג לעדכן אותו.
