OVH. They have a limited number of data centers around the world. Bandwidth is extremely cheap compared with AWS however there's a setup fee with their dedicated range. I haven't looked at their cloud offering.
I'd like to consider them for a project soon using k8s, needing auto node scaling and I'm not too sure what's best to use from their offerings. Maybe k8s on bare metal?
The biggest benefit is pricing, location (close to me), and reliability has been excellent. Scaling would be an issue.

- slawekrewaj 6y agoI think dedicated servers are used when you think about performance first. In that case the approach to scaling is probably to just over provision, which works perfectly in a lot of cases. I would also use OVH for dedicated servers.
- igrekel 6y agoWe used OVH for bare metal purchases in several of their data centres for over three years now. It is cost effective and was pretty good. We did have issues with how quick it was to fix hardware issues when they arose. What doesn't help is that we were using custom instances and not their stock offering. We may switch to their "enterprise support". We also host some machines we own in a small local datacenter from a local provider because it is connected to a dedicated connection to a private network.
