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.I somewhat understand why enterprises want to use it, but why are small startups using it so much and then complaining about the cost?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't cost an arm and a leg and move to a different one if it didn't fit very well.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/devops skills, it is easily doable.
