Migrating from AWS to a European Cloud – How We Cut Costs by 62%

Isn&#x27;t OVH a budget hoster, especially compared to AWS? Are you compensating that somewhat on the engineering and high-availability side?<p>I work for a consultancy company that helps other companies set up cloud infrastructure and secure it. We have a lot of customers on a lot of different platforms, from all-in on AWS, Azure and GCP to smaller local cloud providers, and it&#x27;s interesting to see the market evolve.<p>It&#x27;s true that using some of the smaller cloud providers can save you about half, but you might need an experienced engineer to come up with solutions and an extra machine here and there to ensure availability, so the one-on-one cost is not that clear-cut. Lots of smaller companies go all in on e.g. AWS, but then their eggs are locked into one expensive basket, especially if you build your product on AWS-specific services that can&#x27;t be moved easily elsewhere.

Canuck here. We&#x27;re considering getting off AWS and our exposure is mostly limited to EC2&#x2F;RDS&#x2F;S3. OVH has a bad rep in Canada from my limited experience, but it&#x27;s always hard to tell what services folks were using and how and when.<p>Our biggest concern is a reliable replacement for RDS-postgres, which we&#x27;ve been using for about 13 years now and has been rock solid with the exception of a single, short period. Even then it was an update that caused high baseline CPU usage and AWS had it fixed in a few days.<p>Cost isn&#x27;t the primary concern - though lower costs would be a nice side effect.<p>Shopping list:<p>- Good OpenTofu (or Terraform) support<p>- Reliable<p>- Good managed database (we could roll our own here if needed, I just don&#x27;t wanna).<p>- Canadian DC<p>Nothing we do requires high performance or anything vendor specific. We also roll our own o11y and don&#x27;t use AWS&#x27;s vendor-specific solutions (at least not primarily).

We use OVH at my company too. They are pretty good and affordable.<p>My only complaint is that one day, they had an electrical problem on their datacenter and we were down for an entire day. We lost dozens of clients that day.<p>But this was 6 years ago, so a lot must have changed since then. And yes, I know we should have had a plan for when such things happen, but we didn&#x27;t have one. Nowadays we have a different architecture with more than one cloud provider for redundancy, and it&#x27;s cheaper than having everything on AWS.

After three years working with them, I think that AWS is an ok-ish business to work with... they are expensive, and things &quot;mostly&quot; work, and you start noticing all those other digits after the &quot;99.999&quot; or whatever of reliability that they market. But you (mostly) pay for what you use.<p>But they are the next economic recession waiting for Europe. It&#x27;s my understanding that there is no legal basis any longer to transfer personally identifiable data to AWS servers. With the cooling of relations between USA and Europe, and the budding trade war, it&#x27;s just a matter of time before cloud services become the next weapon. And huge European enterprises depend on American cloud businesses in hyper-critical ways.

If the numbers make sense, and you can afford the move, great!<p>Just ensure that you have backup plans for your backup. OVH had a fire (shit happens), but then actually lost data. I don&#x27;t think that has ever happened at AWS.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datacenterdynamics.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;news&#x2F;ovhcloud-ordered-to-pay-250k-to-two-customers-who-lost-data-in-strasbourg-data-center-fire&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datacenterdynamics.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;news&#x2F;ovhcloud-ordered-...</a>

I would never transfer my data to OVH without having ALL data backuped on some other service of another provider.<p>Look what happens to one of OVHs datacenters, with wood ceilings and floors … completely destroyed some companies because their backups were also there.<p>When you search for it, you will see how negligently they managed this datacenter.

I used OVH for personal projects but had to stop. They randomly block IPs from the iCloud Private Relay network, causing connection timeouts. Their SPF records for outgoing email services are incorrect and missing IP addresses. I opened a support ticket over a year ago, and it still hasn’t been resolved. (Obviously, I’ve moved my emails elsewhere because I’d like them to be delivered.)<p>Maybe their professional offerings are better. Never made me want to try though...

&gt; so we decided to migrate Hopsworks Serverless to OVHCloud - but we kept it in North America where most of our users are to maintain existing latency to those users.<p>So this has nothing to do with USA regime having access to data stored with USA companies. It’s just cost.

what made you choose for OVH instead of Scaleway.com ?<p>I recently discovered that Scaleway is also European, and that their offering is on par with many managed services AWS provides which could be a good drop-in replacement for them.

Thank you for sharing! There&#x27;s no excuse for staying on AWS (or Azure) these days, but it&#x27;s hard to convince executives because the alternatives are marketed much less.

As a USA-ian, I&#x27;d be happy with a US-based cloud, but not run by a spyware company (Amazon, Google, MS).
