Software for bare metal is catching up - you can buy couple of dedicated servers, install something like Kubernetes and will be shaking your head in disbelief how much you over paid for AWS.
Has anyone switched to Google cloud & found it cheaper overall? It seems like there was a lot of interest in Google before but not so much as of late.
honestly , the new prices starts from December/1 and there's only 5% price drop for US datacenters. 20-25% mostly for Singapore and Frankfurt where the original price was higher on that 20-25%.
There are also these guys - Packet: <a href="https://www.packet.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.packet.net/</a> They have a lots of what you need from "cloud", bare metal servers and very competitive prices (even comparing to hetzner)
