Is AWS Lightsail's GP 64GB (Linux, IPv4) the best deal?

Bare-metal 8-core Ryzen with 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM and 1.92TB NVMe for $49/mo (EU pricing) - nearly 8x cheaper than Lightsail with superior hardware and no per-GB overage charges on the 20TB EU transfer pool.

Caveat: Setup fee now 79 EUR (approx $86); requires 24-month commitment; VAT not included in quoted price; traffic overage applies outside EU regions.

64GB RAM, 8 guaranteed physical cores, 480GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for $111/mo on a 24-month term - saves $273/mo vs Lightsail with no bandwidth overage risk.

Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; 12-month term costs ~$82/mo; unlimited traffic subject to fair-use policy; ticket-only support on base tier.

Dedicated 12-core Ryzen, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for $104/mo (24-month term) - saves $280/mo with bare-metal performance and no shared resources.

Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; 12-month pricing higher; unlimited traffic subject to fair-use throttling; support is ticket-only.

32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, and 32TB transfer for just $26/mo intro rate - saves $358/mo upfront, though specs are half the RAM/CPU of Lightsail.

Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $50/mo (93% increase); monthly billing available but at much higher per-month rate; weekly (not daily) backups.

48GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 400GB SSD, and unlimited traffic for $27/mo (24-month term) - saves $357/mo with nearly 3x the vCPU count and no bandwidth caps.

Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; 12-month term costs more per month; unlimited traffic subject to fair-use policy; support is ticket-only on base tier.
