Is OVHcloud's a100-1-gpu the best deal?

AI Notebooks / Training / Deploy · $2445.5/mo (160 GB RAM, 13 vCPU, 80 GB)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's A100 plan is significantly overpriced compared to stronger GPU alternatives. Both Vultr and DigitalOcean offer substantially more compute, memory, and storage for less money, with clearer pricing and better SLAs. Unless you specifically need the A100 architecture, switching would deliver 40-50% cost savings.

Cloud GPU NVIDIA L40S (1x)

$1219.83/mosave 50.1%

Half the price of OVHcloud with superior specs: 180GB RAM vs 160GB, 16 vCPU vs 13, and 1229GB transfer included; L40S is newer and better for inference/training than A100 for most workloads.

Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost separate; verify L40S meets your specific ML framework requirements.

GPU Droplets AMD Instinct MI300X (on-demand)

$1452.7/mosave 40.6%

40% cheaper with dramatically better specs: 240GB RAM, 20 vCPU, 5 TiB NVMe scratch storage, 15000GB transfer, and 99.99% SLA vs OVHcloud's undisclosed SLA.

Caveat: MI300X is AMD-based; verify compatibility with your ML stack; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply after pooled allowance exhausted.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's A100 pricing does not include IPv4 address charges or Windows license surcharge if applicable; recalculate true TCO before comparing
Verify GPU architecture compatibility: Vultr L40S and DigitalOcean MI300X are not drop-in replacements for A100 workloads in all frameworks
DigitalOcean's MI300X is on-demand pricing; confirm renewal rates and whether reserved/committed discounts are available
OVHcloud's APAC free-egress expires mid-2026; factor in future egress costs if you rely on that region
Check Vultr's bandwidth overage rates for your specific data center; 1229GB included transfer may be insufficient for heavy training jobs
