I was shocked to see how much more the extended support (per hour) cost is for Kubernetes on AWS.
Haven't had that situation myself on AWS yet, but ran into it a few times on Azure
I can't remember to have paid extra on Azure though, but maybe we did. Certainly not 6x the price though.
PS: not sure why it got flagged the first time, but I think because I used a different title. Sorry.
- qqtt 2y agoAWS also recently ended support for Mysql 5, so if you had an RDS instance with that version running past the cutoff, your support costs ballooned exorbitantly.
- noctarius 2y agoSeems like I'm a lucky one. Neither using RDS nor MySQL. But seriously, ouch. I mean, I get why they want people to migrate to supported versions but ...
- SteveNuts 2y agoI wish we could implement this internally via chargebacks. The teams that refuse to upgrade their stuff should be forced to pay for the externalities they cause.
- VectorLock 2y agoYup this one hit me hard. USE2-ExtendedSupport:Yr1-Yr2:MySQL5.7 sent my bill up 70%.
- hughesjj 2y agoHow long was it before the notice and you getting charged extra?
- res0nat0r 2y agoWe just got emails yesterday about the EKS price increase. It's another reason we're trying to move the main app to the vendors SaaS because I don't have enough time and resources to be a fulltime k8s admin. The ecosystem moves way too fast and upgrades/deprecation happens way too quickly to keep up and to have time test / plan / rollout proper upgrades without breaking our critical production workloads.
