Google does this: 100% discount for upto 100K of usage the first year, and 25% discount upto 100K for the second year.
But I disagree: I think what AWS does is a LOT better: credits last two years, which is a lot more practical (if i migrate to AWS for the credits, I have two years during which I don't have to consider migrating again), plus with the upfront payment plans, I can even stretch the credits to a third year. I like that a LOT better.

Most startups are not profitable after just one year and paying cloud bills is a drag on growth.
A graduated drop-off would be better maybe 100% off for year one, then 75% year two, 50% year three, 25% year four, and full price year five. All subject to some sort of annual or total cap, of course.
That's a more realistic picture of what it takes to get off the ground.
