Analytics - Managed Dashboards (Grafana) · $107.75/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Production B3-8 Grafana tier at $107.75/mo is significantly overpriced for a single-node 8GB/2vCPU analytics dashboard. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior managed database/analytics infrastructure at 35-75% lower cost, though you'll need to verify whether Grafana-specific managed dashboards are available or if you can self-host on a standard database instance.
Less than one-third the price with matching 2vCPU and 4GB RAM; OpenSearch is a Grafana-compatible data source and 99.99% SLA beats OVHcloud's undisclosed uptime.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply; you'll need to confirm OpenSearch works as your Grafana backend instead of a dedicated Grafana instance.
Half the price with 4GB RAM and 64GB disk; Standard tier includes HA and higher reliability than Essential, suitable for Grafana data storage.
Caveat: Postgres is a data backend, not a managed Grafana instance; you'll need to host Grafana separately or use Heroku dynos (additional cost); add-on overages can force tier upgrades.
49% cheaper with 4GB RAM and 1vCPU; 99.95% SLA and includes persistent storage; good for Grafana backend data.
Caveat: Disk storage and bandwidth overages billed separately at $0.25/GB and ~$0.15/GB respectively; instances billed per-second so partial-month charges apply if you scale down.
44% savings with matching 2vCPU/4GB and 80GB disk; 100% network uptime SLA and straightforward pricing model.
Caveat: MySQL backend only (not Postgres); bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license surcharge applies if you need Windows instances elsewhere.
44% cheaper with 2vCPU/4GB, 120GB disk, and 100GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA and AWS ecosystem integration.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates are high ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); Windows bundles cost 70-90% more; this is a database backend, not managed Grafana.
