- gostsamo 2y agoHow much time did it take from start to finish in terms of planning and preparing the entire operation?
- LexSiga 2y agoThe actual migration, a day or less. Now there was a 2-week sprint for testing and validating backup and restore before doing the actual migration. At the non-engineering level (management and such) of course there was a review and consideration time as well.
- nonrandomstring 2y agoGood question. I'd also like to hear more detail (budget, time, people and skills) on real cases. When I had research students I set a few of them doing studies on migration, degoogling, data "repatriation" (ick!) and all the things I think we now call "sovereignty". But there was lots of theory and precious few solid, documented studies. There were also hundreds of propaganda pieces and Google/Microsoft/Amazon shill pieces sowing disinfo. Surely that's changed now and the economic realities are clearer?
- soco 2y agoAny concrete plans to offer Serverless also in Europe?
- LexSiga 2y agoWe are already available in Europe; it is just our infrastructure that is currently more us-centric in that sense. Eventually as the demand grows we will of course deploy in EU region to improve the availability. If it is more of a sovereign aspect; we are deployable on kubernetes;one can already use our installer on OVHCloud and deploy on a European region.
- mfld 2y agoDid you find differences in performance or reliability of the S3 and Kubernetes services already?
- Nemo_bis 2y agoThat's already answered in OP's article. k8s: > Good stability. S3: > AWS S3 is the premier cloud-based object storage service. It may have higher availability, but it’s three times more expensive than OVH’s S3 storage.
- mikaelronstrom 2y agoThe reliability of OVH has so far not been a problem. Performance is mostly a factor of the VM instances that you use, AWS has much more instances to choose from, but obviously at a much higher cost, so performance per dollar is obviously better with OVH.
- pjc50 2y agoHow large was the total data transfer? It doesn't seem to have been that big.
- kouzant 2y agoYou'd be surprised :) We had to migrate a few thousand projects and their feature data and users' custom images. It was substantial. (eng@Hopsworks)
- dddw 2y agoWhy OVH and not for instance Hetzner?
- mikaelronstrom 2y agoOne obvious benefit of OVH compared to Hetzner is the S3 storage, the Kubernetes framework and a number of other services provided by OVH, don't think Hetzner would provide those services.

- CoolCold 2y agoLong time Hetzner user, but I would not trust new system (S3 storage) in this case for things beyond playground and tests until it has at least couple of years in production - Hetzner just made it public in ~ Nov 2024.
