Analytics - OpenSearch · $911.26/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Analytics OpenSearch plan at $911.26/mo is significantly overpriced compared to managed database alternatives. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 4 vCPU) at 8-13% of the cost, though they use different database engines (PostgreSQL/MySQL vs OpenSearch). If OpenSearch is a hard requirement, this plan has limited direct competition; otherwise, switching database engines unlocks dramatic savings.
Direct OpenSearch competitor at 1/12th the price with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU; includes 99.99% SLA matching OVHcloud's reliability tier.
Caveat: Smaller RAM (8GB vs 15GB) and single-node vs 3-node cluster; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 8GB | $76.25/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XXS (non-HA) | $80/mo | 8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
4 vCPU and 8GB RAM at 13% of OVHcloud's price with 100% network uptime SLA; database-agnostic if migration is feasible.
Caveat: MySQL instead of OpenSearch; 160GB disk vs 480GB-1.44TB; bandwidth overages vary by data center.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, 200GB monthly transfer included at 12.6% of OVHcloud cost; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Fewer vCPU (2 vs 4); data transfer overage rates $0.09-$0.132/GB vary by region; PostgreSQL/MySQL only.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU at 11% of OVHcloud price with 99.95% SLA; includes persistent disk and backups.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage ~$0.15/GB; PostgreSQL only, not OpenSearch.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB SSD at 14.3% of OVHcloud cost with 99.99% SLA; pricing estimated from node pattern.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED, not directly confirmed; single-node (HA clusters cost 2-3x); bandwidth overage $0.005-$0.015/GB; backups are a separate add-on.
