If you’re okay with servers located in Germany, Hetzner is a provider I can vouch for and they offer additional egress at 1EUR/TB. 20TB included, too. (Billing has been rather painful, though.)
Can you elaborate why billing is a pain point ? thanks.

Guess who‘s favorite evil corp cloud is a magnitude cheaper than AWS on transfer pricing? Oracle, which is why Zoom just signed a deal. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/why-zoom-chose-oracle-clo...
Oracle cloud? The same technology that runs certain state unemployment systems and has been completely unable to scale, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with no income for the last five weeks? Oracle really should remove its logo from the footers of all those collapsing web sites. It's embarrassing.

#64I'm glad they plugged their outbound network transfer fees compared to the others[1]. I was shocked and horrified when my AWS bill (which I pay myself) quadrupled due to outgoing network transfer fees. It's truly outrageous what they charge. I use Digital Ocean a lot now simply to avoid nasty surprises like that. I hope AWS and Google change that. [1] https://blog.digitalocean.com/its-all-about-the-bandwidth-wh...
$0.01/GB is fantastic, but I have a bandwidth intensive ML media application and don't know how to monetize or sell it quickly enough to pay for my bandwidth costs. Is there a cloud or dedicated server farm with even cheaper outbound bandwidth? Edit: as much as I hate Oracle, their first 10TB is free, and each GB after that is $0.0085/GB. Better...

Do we know if the underlying cloud failed or if it was an application issue? I strongly suspect the latter especially when it comes to government projects.

#66They must be great, my servers are constantly receiving hack attempts from Digital Ocean IPs.
Texts too with phishing urls in them trace the IPs you find they are digital ocean VMs. The worst part is here in Canada we have to pay for incoming texts.

#67When are you going to have a datacenter in Brazil? We don't mind if we have to pay more than your listed prices for other locations. We know Brazil is more expensive. Just do it already.

Life sure would be easier if "cloud native" meant IPv6-only (except the load balancer) with non-overlapping unique addresses everywhere. 10/8 doesn't go far if you give each VM a /24 and each k8s cluster a /16.
Where have you experienced shortages? Even with a /16, you are talking about millions of unique IPs.

Re: DigitalOcean VPC
#70Simple pricing, nothing hidden, not the most feature rich ecosystem, but I get no billing surprises.
