Which Should You Choose?

Choose AWS if...

You need the full AWS ecosystem (S3, SageMaker, EKS, IAM)
You require enterprise compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
You want reserved instances for 1-3 year commitments at lower rates

Choose Lambda if...

Price is your primary concern and you want 2-4x savings over AWS
You're running ML training and don't need a full cloud ecosystem
You want free egress — AWS egress fees can add 10-20% to your bill

Frequently Asked Questions

How much cheaper is Lambda than AWS?

Lambda is typically 2-4x cheaper than AWS on-demand pricing for equivalent GPUs. Check the pricing table above for current prices — they update daily. AWS reserved instances can narrow the gap for long-term commitments.

Does AWS charge for GPU egress?

Yes. AWS charges per-GB for data transfer out, which can add significantly to your costs for data-intensive ML workloads. Lambda offers completely free egress. See the egress comparison section above for exact costs.

Which has better GPU availability?

AWS has more total capacity but popular GPUs like H100 and A100 can be hard to get without reserved instances. Lambda has a smaller fleet but often has availability for on-demand instances.

Can I use SageMaker with Lambda?

No. SageMaker is an AWS-only service. Lambda provides bare cloud GPU instances without managed ML platform features. If you need managed ML workflows, AWS has a significant advantage.
