> $272 monthly + GPU cost

Imagine paying $250+/mo for 32GB of RAM and 4 VCPUs. No wonder Amazon is swimming in cash, the markup on this is bonkers.

100% this, i've been finding metal is getting very compelling against aws. For example latitude has 4 real cores and 32 GB of ram for $92/month.

hetzner doesn't even have specs this low from what i can tell!

It has a VM with 32GB RAM and 4x the cores for 1/10th of the price: 25eur/mo. Effectively even lower because it has 20TB of included traffic, and the overage cost for it is ~1/10th of the AWS egress cost.

Or, for 184eur/mo you can get one of their bare metal GPU offerings with 64GB of RAM, a i5-13500 and an RTX4000.

+ 3.75 TB NVMe

And that’s the per second pricing applied 24/7 for a month. A year commitment takes 30% off.

Still a big markup, but a lot of these comparisons are the the on demand instant on/off price.
