When running things that tolerate interruptions, AWS Spot Instances are way cheaper than Hertzner or any other VPS service.

  Do you have numbers to share? That sounds really hard to believe. Can AWS Spot Instances really beat this? https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax

  The beauty of Hetzner is its dedicated servers. You can get 8 core, 64GB ECC, 1TB SSD server for mere 64 EUR/mo. AWS has nothing like that, AFAIK.

    This. Plus some really cheap rigs with older hardware. For 30 euro you get a fourh gen i7 with 32 GB RAM and 3TB hdd.

    Multiply that by 5 and you have our dirt cheap, extremely reliable elasticsearch cluster.

  Can you name some instance types? I had a look at a couple random ones and the closest equivalent at hetzner was always significantly cheaper.

  I think AWS will be at least 10x more if you include the traffic charges.

  Note that bandwidth is included for servers with gigabit uplink - for 10gb uplink "only" 30TB/month is included. How much is just 5TB/month egress on Amazon?
