  text: This paper explores how cloud provider competition influences instance pricing
    in an IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) market. 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.
