We were using Hetzner in one of the companies and we had pretty good performance per price. After acquisition the parent corporate decided to switch to AWS because "procedures". Imagine the shock when my manager saw how much it would cost per month, not to mention that corporate had their own special IT department for which we also had to pay because of "procedures".
Changes needed on Hetzner took less than a day, like buying a new server from auction.
Changes through corporate took somewhere around a week.
P.S. Sorry for digression
Sounds like an issue with the company and not AWS.
Yes, the second (digressed) part but all in all costs were a huge leap after going into cloud
Maybe. Maybe not. Obviously we can only take your word for it as we have not look and analyse what’s currently there and what’s required etc.
I suspect it does cost more but i doubt it’s a “huge leap” but it also defines what you define as huge leap.
Their server auction is great if you find one you like.
Much less than a day. I found new auction servers took only a few minutes to be up and running after selecting them. Same with default config new servers (no extra SSDs etc).
