Cost efficiency on cloud providers mostly comes down to how well utilized your fleet is. You can always waste money on idle machines. Containers help with the "packing", which in turn can help with costs. Issue being: your time is probably the most costly thing, so it's debatable unless you can get it done comfortably and happily.
- barrybloom 7y agoThere are cloud providers who already started to offer pre-configured Jitsi in containers. So there is no need to package it manually and at the same time cost efficiency is higher. Today I've tested Jitsi on Jelastic, they deploy it automatically to containers, offer automatic vertical scaling and don't stick to VMs, so there is no waste for idle machine.
