Cloud computing is getting cheaper. The cost of renting virtual machines (VMs) from vendors like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google have been dropping for some time. \u00a0Now additional service pricings are dropping too. \u00a0451 Research noted<\/a> that the price of object storage is rapidly being cut by the major cloud vendors.<\/p>\n
