- QUFB 11y agoI've noticed in the past on Hacker News comment threads about Amazon AWS, or other cloud services, that a common theme is that "EC2 is expensive, just buy a dedicated server from OVH/Hetzner!" This is why some use EC2: it is trivial to snapshot and backup block storage, it is cheap to store snapshots, and recovery from a catastrophic hardware crash will take minutes.
