AWS is overcharging badly. I wouldn't even take them seriously if you want to do something with e.g video. Charging per GB is a joke in a world where my (expensive) ISP doesn't even offer anything less than 30/30mb.
IMHO Hertzer is the only hosting company that get what business it is in. AWS makes a ton of sense if you need to rent serious iron to do OCR on 100+ GB of scans of corporate documents, you need GPU power to train your AI model, or you are a startup that needs to grow 50% a month.
If you are an established company with a normal demand model, AWS will rip you alive.
- NavinF 4y ago> AWS makes a ton of sense if […] you need GPU power to train your AI model, Breakeven time between paying for GPUs, servers, and colo vs GCP was 3 months when I last checked. AWS was even worse. For training, cloud GPUs only make sense if you don’t have anyone on your team that’s familiar with physical infra or if you have a ton of free credits which is fairly common for startups with VC funding.
- tomjen3 4y agoI was assuming that you only needed to train your AI once. AWS is like a hotel. Great if you need it for a couple days, but you are mad if you want to live there indefinitely.
