Sounds too me like you're saying "Let's take Hetzner so we don't have to be smart" and your CTO is telling you to be smart. In a way, he trusts you're smart enough to figure out a better way then just throwing hardware at the problem.
Also, while cloud pricing can be daunting, once you reach a point when Azure costs to much, you can look at optimizing things. There are a lot of techniques to keep cloud cost acceptable. Look up "FinOps" if you haven't already.
- that_guy_iain 4y agoSometimes it's cheaper not to be smart. It's often the case. Because the reality is, most poeple aren't smart. They're average. If you're entire case depends on "we're smart" then more often than not you're going to end up with egg on your face. Your solution is to spend time and money on reducing costs. This only makes sense when the costs to move outweigh the costs to reduce costs.
