When reserved instance pricing includes an on-demand price component in addition to a reservation fee (two-part tariffs), different providers might offer different price combinations, where the client’s choice depends on its load profile. We investigate a duopoly of providers and analyze stable market prices in two-part tariffs. Further, we study offers that allow a specified amount of included usage (three-part tariffs). Neither two-part nor three-part tariffs produce an equilibrium market outcome other than a service pricing that equals production cost, i.e., complex price structures do not significantly affect the results from ordinary Bertrand competition. https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/download/382/5250/06930535.pdf application/pdf 2014 eng 10.1109/SCC.2014.35 203-210 @inproceedings{Künsemöller_Brangewitz_Karl_Haake_2014, title={Provider Competition in Infrastructure-as-a-Service}, DOI={<a href="https://doi.org/10.1109/SCC.2014.35">10.1109/SCC.2014.35</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC)}, author={Künsemöller, Jörn and Brangewitz, Sonja and Karl, Holger and Haake, Claus-Jochen}, year={2014}, pages={203–210} } Künsemöller, Jörn, et al. “Provider Competition in Infrastructure-as-a-Service.” <i>Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC)</i>, 2014, pp. 203–10, doi:<a href="https://doi.org/10.1109/SCC.2014.35">10.1109/SCC.2014.35</a>.
