AWS is infrastructure as a service. Digital Ocean sells virtual private servers. They aren't even remotely the same product. I host a blog on DO for a few buck a month. My company hosts their entire infrastructure on AWS for 4 different applications.
Apples and oranges.
- ownagefool 10y agoYou can do the same on DO, it's just slightly more involved, almost certainly less resiliant and they supply less PaaS options. In fact as an IaaS if you throw kubernetes at it, run ceph and put a little effort into getting autoscaling, then you have a knock-off cloud. Amazons value is that it's cheaper for a small company than hiring the people who can do this well and you can hire a generalist to glue it all together.
