We use Kubernetes and spot instances to reduce EC2 billing up to 80%
Why are people so obsessed by AWS? It is one of the most expensive hosting solutions that tries hard to lock you into their ecosystem.<p>I somewhat understand why enterprises want to use it, but why are small startups using it so much and then complaining about the cost?<p>Nowadays when we have high speed internet, and a lot of things are containerized, it is so simple to change hosting partners. Just pick one that doesn&#x27;t cost an arm and a leg and move to a different one if it didn&#x27;t fit very well.<p>I have used linux containers for 10 years now and changed hosting a few times, each time reducing costs even more. Yes, it is a bit of manual labour, but if you have someone with sysadmin&#x2F;devops skills, it is easily doable.
