Sample VM pricing:
t2.small for cloud router = $283 (3 year reserved)
m4.large for Radius server = $1,210 (3 year reserved)
Say we use t2.micro & m4.large VMs our cloud spending estimation will be:
1 x t2. small = $283 triennial = $94 yearly
1 x m4.large = $1,210 triennial = $403 yearly
TOTAL = $1,493 triennial = $497 yearly
(not including storage disk, backup, data transfer, static IP)
