The question is, why would you use EC2 instead of DigitalOcean?
- velodrome 13y agoHow is DOs network uptime compared to AWS?
- morgo 13y agoAWS has a lot of managed infrastructure components like RDS, EMR, S3.
- jokull 13y agoELB, CloudFront, SQS, SES ... it’s nice to have those things at your disposal even though alternatives exist. Consolidated billing, fewer accounts to log into (admin overhead) etc.
- teraflop 13y agoFor applications that don't need guaranteed uptime or SSDs, you can save a lot of money with EC2 spot instances. I can get an m1.large instance and 80GB of EBS storage for about $27/month; comparable specs would cost $80 from DigitalOcean.
