EC2 Cloud Comparison Brief

I need a short, no-frills analysis that tells me whether an Amazon EC2 dedicated server is the smartest choice for my use case or if a comparable option from Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or IBM Cloud would serve me better.

What I want from you:
• A side-by-side table summarising price and raw performance for entry-level dedicated or bare-metal options on each platform.
• A brief note on which specific EC2 instance type you would pick for mixed workloads—my website, a mobile app backend, and general data tasks—and why.
• One-paragraph conclusions that clearly state: “Go with EC2” or “Choose X instead,” backed by the numbers you gathered.

Keep the research lightweight and cite the official pricing pages or benchmark sources you use so I can verify quickly.
