It has a VM with 32GB RAM and 4x the cores for 1/10th of the price: 25eur/mo. Effectively even lower because it has 20TB of included traffic, and the overage cost for it is ~1/10th of the AWS egress cost.
Or, for 184eur/mo you can get one of their bare metal GPU offerings with 64GB of RAM, a i5-13500 and an RTX4000.
You must have the data upfront, you cannot build this in an incremental fashion
There is also bo mention on how this would handle updates, and from the description, even if updates are possible, this will degrade over time, requiring new indexing batch
You don't, but business executives aren't the kind to easily admit they got conned - and if they're getting close to that stage, a nice dinner or golfing session paid by the vendor's representative generally alleviates those feelings very well.
Engineers who started their career during the cloud craze and don't know anything else are also not the kind to rock the boat, lest the cash cow dies and their whole "investment" in their career becomes useless.
(Genuine question) What's your current plan for when your cloud provider goes offline? Do you have a failover story, or it a case of "wait for them to come back online"?
Do we mean managed or PG on K8s like CNPG? In all cases, I use the infra to simplify things like having disk redundancy and failover nodes, not because 12GB is interesting.
And if you want to go even cheaper, check out Hetzner their EX63 (go to custom) > 4x 7.68TB drives for like 140 Euro.
Not counting the fact that Netcup is raided (also Netcup is limited to 8TB on a VPS).
That is like 4.7 Euro /TB. That is like 4$/TB. 6 Euro / TB in a raid 5 setup.
I do not understand why they are not using this new pricing model on their older servers. There the best you can get is like 10 Euro /TB (for the single 15TB U.2).
Imagine paying $250+/mo for 32GB of RAM and 4 VCPUs. No wonder Amazon is swimming in cash, the markup on this is bonkers.
