AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud NZ
Pick the wrong cloud and you’ll pay heaps. We help you choose right.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Your cloud bill keeps growing each month. You don’t know why it jumps. Mike’s Pet Shop in Auckland paid $800. Then it hit $2,400 in three months.
What This Means
You’re stuck with one cloud now. Switching seems too hard and risky. Think of it like a phone plan. You pick the wrong one and pay too much.
Key Point: The big three clouds all work fine. Price makes the real difference.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ law says your data must stay here. Not all clouds do this well. Over 60% of Kiwi firms pick wrong. They lose cash and break the rules.
The Fix
Match your needs to the best fit. Don’t pay for stuff you won’t use. We make this dead simple. No tech talk needed.
What To Do Now
- List Your Needs – Write what you use now in plain words.
- Check NZ Rules – Make sure they store data in Auckland or Wellington.
- Get Three Quotes – Ask AWS Azure Google for exact monthly costs.
- Test One Month – Run a small test before you move all data.
Real NZ Results
Wellington’s Cake World moved from AWS to Google. They saved $600 each month. This paid for a new staff member. The switch took two weeks.
Pro Tip: Start with the free tier. Test for three months. Then decide.
