i wish someone would make a financial derivative of cloud provider pricing. i'd like to make money off of all of these folks who are convinced AWS is going to raise prices, any day now.

Given how brutally expensive AWS is, I'd say that day is long past.

AWS is quite expensive, but I don't think they actually raise prices much if ever. At worst, they just don't lower prices as quickly as Moore's law decreases their costs.

From a financial perspective, isn't this basically raising prices over time?

No, just increasing gross profit over time.

Why would AWS want to raise prices when it is already the most expensive major public cloud provider?
