No one reputable is predicting the USD will crash imminently.
US T-bills lost a notch of rating due to long-term declining governance tied to the cozy relationship and revolving door between Wall St. and federal regulators. This is a form of corruption that undermines the economy and strategic power.

ELB is a substantial cost itself, though.
And not very good, together with the auto scaling groups, it performs the record act of not being able to do an instance refresh without downtime. We’ve put countless hours into that, seems like a simple problem, forums say it’s not solved.
You have to define health checks on your instances that reflect the availability of all services they host.
And you have to allow there to be more instances than your target number in each autoscaling group.
This is a hidden price hike. It would be more reasonable if there was a corresponding decrease in server costs.
The move may seem unreasonable, but it seems more unreasonable to expect anything different from the oligarchy.
oh my god when the demand for a scarce resource outstrips supply, prices go up. this is high school microecon, not some conspiracy by tHe oLiGaRcHy

sure they became a multi billion dollar business by not being cost effective
They became a multi-billion dollar business by: A) Promising scale (and delivering to a certain extent) B) being significantly more convenient than contemporary solutions C) becoming trendy D) hoodwinking CxO’s into the belief that not owning your data is better for you, actually. (CapEx vs OpEx) E) unfathomable amounts of DevRel. Nobody has ever claimed AWS was cost effective, they have said that “it’s worth the cos…

Sounds about the same.
So I have a tiny personal website hosted on ec2. Right now the DNS points to the server's public IPv4 address. But I don't really want to pay $40+/year for an IPv4 for my personal project. Does anyone have experience switching a small personal site to IPv6 only in 2023? I'm guessing the vast majority of my (North American/European-based) friends and visitors can probably connect just fine to an IPv6 address. I wish I…

Bit confused. Couldn't you just run a Linux VM to do your NAT and only pay normal egress?

The only barrier for me to go IPv6-only is those VPS that are provided with a single /128 IPv6, and I do not know of a service that would offer IPv6 tunneling other than HE, that requires an IPv4 endpoint. The day I get a full /48 or /64 with my VPSes, I'm ready to drop IPv4.
I use ipv6 everywhere, but I get annoyed when some features are missing.
For example, OVH won't let me transfer an IPv6 prefix like they do for IPv4. I thought I could just migrate my VMs to another box, but one of them had lots of clients with their own DNS/domains, so it was a huge pain to update.

Hmm, I use IPv4 mostly because nobody in their right mind can remember a IPv6 address…
Who's out there remembering IPv4 addresses?
