This is not an ultra fair comparaison since Amazon has huge discount when you signed up for a year for example. Not to mention spot instances...

But yes OVH has a lot to offer and got my preference too. But I am French and it is a French success!

Yeah this is an extremely limited use case with very few data points. It doesn't take into account corporate discounts, spot instances, reserved instances, savings gained from replatforming/rearchitecting to *aaS options. The author here must have very limited enterprise cloud experience.

Part of this point is that Amazon / Google / Microsoft pricing is intentionally complex, which at the end of the day leads to surprise / higher costs
