Can you elaborate why billing is a pain point ? thanks.
Could not set up auto-charging, had to visit the billing portal once a month and manually initiate a Paypal or credit card transaction. Probably okay if you’re a company, not so convenient for an individual with a side project (at least I prefer set and forget). That was two years ago though, maybe it has improved.

They also only give you 16 addresses. 16! Most providers give you an entire /64 or sometimes even a /48.
Wow. In France, home ISP give you a /64 generally (Free for example, known for Online/Scaleway). I think 80 % of their fiber deployments comes with IPv6 enabled now. And in few years, it should be 100 %.
After that, I had a whole native /56 at Red by SFR.
Currently I'm at Sosh by Orange and I have a native /56.

This is only the case with PayPal, if you switch to credit card it auto charges you

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.

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.
What network are you running where you're giving each virtual machine a /24? That's insane. 10/8 should go very far if you do it correctly, hence why it's in use in almost all internal networks.
Got to love DO. Simple pricing, nothing hidden, not the most feature rich ecosystem, but I get no billing surprises. Source: customer for 3 years.
I'm a DO client since the beginning. Can anyone tell me how they compare to linode?

I'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...
We use Direct Connect to get traffic to edge nodes where we buy fixed 10Gbps links and pay a fraction of the AWS cost. AWS bandwidth costs are ridiculous.
