That's why I choose the `d` EC2. They come with NVMe SSD ephemeral storage and in terms of bandwidth, AWS will beat it anyway. R6 is around 10Gbps if I remember

- speedgoose 6y agoWith 8TB of not throttled IO ?
- klohto 6y agoHow are you going to throttle local storage on bare-metal exactly? Ephemeral isn't over network, it's directly attached. So yes, even 8TB.
- speedgoose 6y agoYes the local storage is not throttled on bare-metal. Maybe these new AWS instance with ephemeral storage are not throttled as well, I can't find the information. Anyway, it's not 8TB but 1TB and on the AWS price calculator it costs 650€ for this instance. You may have access to special prices.
- e12e 6y agoHetzner gives you 20TB/month outgoing bw + 1euro/TB if you add 39 euro for 10gbps uplink - or un-metered 1gbps bw. Even if you have "up to 10 gbps" bw from aws - it's going to be much more expensive! And if you just need low latency (and "no" data), 1 gbps would probably serve you just as well? So at those prices (essentially no bandwidth) - you could get two physical servers from hetzner... Fwiw i agree comparing aws to dedicated doesn't make much sense - but unless flexibility is important - I don't see aws comming out on top from such a simple comparison.
