If you're simply using EC2 hardware I agree but then you might as well go for a lower-level hosting provider which will be much cheaper.
The point of Cloud Services is to provide all these additional services.
If you don't use those services then the flexibility is relatively trivial to achieve.
- mattnewton 4y agoGotcha. That’s exactly the problem I am trying to solve, using just the ec2 style hardware, and being able to spin up on smaller clouds like coreweave to take advantage of availability and prices.
- kube-system 4y agoI don't use cloud providers because they have their branded value-add services. I use them because they're reliable, automated, and they have APIs. I can't point terraform at whatever random IPMI a traditional hosting provider gives me. The last time I spun up a new dedicated instance at a traditional hosting provider, it wasn't an API call. It was a few emails, an invoice, and a week wait.
