Their VPS pricing is competitive but pretty much everything else isn't. Specifically, I'm looking at EKS vs DO managed k8s, block storage for VPS's, and so on.

- RKearney 6y agoDO charges $0.10/GB per month for block storage, the same as AWS Lightsail charges for block storage. AWS also has Lightsail Containers which are far cheaper than EKS and is their DO/Linode/etc equivalent. Lightsail also offers load balancers for $18/mo compared to DO's $10, $30, or $60 per month. DO $15/mo managed DB 1G 1vCPU 10G SSD AWS $15/mo managed DB 1G 1vCPU 40G SSD I'm really not seeing how "pretty much everything else isn't" with respect to their offerings.
- cashewchoo 6y agoHuh, you're right. I guess the main place DO beats AWS is in their managed k8s pricing, which is funnily enough one of the main thing I use. Is lightsail containers more like docker or more like k8s? It reads to me that it's more like docker.
