Right, I don't think you can beat buying the machines, of course.


You don't have to buy - Hetzner, OVH, etc will happily rent you these machines dirt-cheap and that includes hardware maintenance & replacement.


Sure, that sounds some problems. Try to get your average CTO on board, though!


OVH may be problematic if you don't speak French (their English support sucks), but Hetzner is pretty famous and well regarded. Their network is great. They provide a lot of automation. The provide little tooling compared to AWS, but what is there works and it works great. Its an engineering-minded provider. Also, its VM pricing is the lowest. What's best is their egress pricing cannot be matched by anyone else in the US or Europe.


contabo is interesting too…


First time i hear contabo.
