Cloud Provider SLA Comparison 2025
The headline SLA percentages look similar across providers — the real difference is what architecture you need to achieve each tier. AWS and GCP offer no SLA at all for single-instance compute.
| Deployment Tier | AWS | Azure | GCP | OCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single instance | No SLA | 99.5% | No SLA | 99.5% |
| Multi-zone / Multi-AZ | 99.95% | 99.95% | 99.95% | 99.95% |
| Multi-region active-active | 99.99% | 99.99% | 99.99% | 99.99% |

Actual SLAs vary by service tier and configuration. See individual service entries below for specific SLA details and official documentation.
Cloud Egress & Bandwidth Cost Comparison 2025
Egress costs — what you pay to move data out to the internet — are one of the most overlooked factors in total cost of ownership. The differences between providers are dramatic, especially at scale.
| Monthly Volume | AWS | Azure | GCP | OCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First 100 GB | Free | Free | Free | Free |
| Up to 10 TB/month | $0.09/GB | $0.087/GB | $0.08/GB | Free* |
| 10–50 TB/month | $0.085/GB | $0.083/GB | $0.06/GB | $0.0085/GB |
| 50+ TB/month | $0.07/GB | $0.05/GB | $0.04/GB | $0.0085/GB |
* OCI includes 10 TB/month free internet egress. Intra-region transfer is free on all providers.
OCI includes 10 TB/month free egress, then just $0.0085/GB. For workloads transferring 50 TB/month, OCI egress costs over 90% less than AWS.
Google reduced egress costs significantly in 2023 and offers free egress to Cloudflare and other CDN partners — strong for globally distributed content delivery.
AWS and Azure charge standard egress rates regardless of destination. High egress costs create economic lock-in — factor this into long-term architecture decisions.
Cloud Security & Compliance Comparison 2025
All four providers hold enterprise-grade certifications, but their security tooling philosophy and default posture differ significantly. The right choice depends on your existing infrastructure and compliance requirements.
| Certification | AWS | Azure | GCP | OCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| PCI-DSS Level 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| HIPAA (with BAA) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| FedRAMP High | ✓ | ✓ | Partial | Partial |
| ISO 27001 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| GDPR | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Security Philosophy by Provider
Security Hub aggregates findings across 200+ services. AWS IAM is the most granular in the industry. GuardDuty provides ML-based threat detection across all accounts.
Deep Active Directory integration makes Azure the default for enterprise Windows environments. Conditional Access and Microsoft Defender provide the broadest compliance dashboard.
Google pioneered BeyondCorp zero-trust. Binary Authorization for containers, Confidential Computing, and VPC Service Controls are standout differentiators from other providers.
Cloud Guard (threat detection), Security Zones (policy enforcement), and Vault (key management) are enabled by default — features other providers charge extra for.
