One of the things I hate most about AWS is their refusal to give monthly pricing for EC2 instances like Digital Ocean. Instead I have to use a web form to estimate my monthly/quarterly costs. One of the reasons I might move to DO is that I can do back of the envelope calculations so easily when projecting my costs. And bandwidth costs.
Are outgoing bandwidth costs ever going to drop? It just seems crazy that DigitalOcean can provide you 1TB of bandwidth in their $5 plan while 1TB on AWS ($0.12/GB) is $122.76 (first GB is free).
so this brings them in line or lower than google's cloud storage <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/cloud-storage/" rel="nofollow">https://cloud.google.com/products/cloud-storage/</a><p>Great to see this competition. Does anyone know if s3 and gcs are comparable to azure's locally redundant or geographically redundant storage? The new pricing is basically in the middle of the two for azure.
m3.medium only has 4GB of storage? Is that a typo? Why not the standard 8GB?
That'll make it unusable for my AMIs. The m3.medium is $0.113/hr for 3 ECU and 3.75 GB RAM, while the m3.large is $0.225/hr for 6.5 ECUs and 7.5 GB RAM but 32 GB of SSD storage.
