Does anyone have experience with say Linode and Digital Ocean performance versus AWS and GCE?
They still use VMs, but as far as I know they have simple reserved instances, not “cloud”-like weather?
Is the performance better and more predictable on large VPSes?
(edit: I guess a big difference is that VPS can have local NVMe that is persistent, whrereas EC2 local disk is ephemeral? )
- inapis 1y agoNo. DO can be equally noisy but I've always tried their regular instances and not their premium AMD/Intel ones.
- pton_xd 1y agoI can't speak to Linode but in my experience the Digital Ocean VM performance is quite bad compared to bare metal offerings like Hetzner, OVH, etc. It's basically comparable to AWS, only a bit cheaper.
- matt-p 1y agoIt's essentially the same product, but you do get lower disk latency. Best performance is always going to be a dedicated server which in the US seem to start around $80-100/month (just checking on serversearcher.com), DO and so on do provide a "dedicated cpu" product if that's too much.
