Analytics - OpenSearch · $284.26/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-15 at $284.26/mo is significantly overpriced for a single-node 15GB RAM OpenSearch instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior managed database specs at 60-75% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud plan's main advantage is raw RAM and vCPU count, but that doesn't justify the 3-4x premium.
Native OpenSearch offering at one-quarter the price with 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are the only material hidden cost and unlikely to exceed $10-20/mo for typical workloads.
Caveat: Half the RAM (8GB vs 15GB) and half the vCPU (4 vs 4, but on smaller instance class); if you genuinely need 15GB, this won't suffice, but most OpenSearch use cases don't.
| 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 less than half OVHcloud's price; 100% network uptime SLA is strong; bandwidth overages are region-dependent but typically modest.
Caveat: MySQL, not OpenSearch, so only viable if you can switch database engines; 160GB disk is smaller than OVHcloud's 160-480GB range.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB SSD at less than half price; 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB is among the cheapest in the market.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; half the RAM; HA clusters cost 2-3x more if you need redundancy.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, 200GB transfer included; data encrypted by default; 99.9% SLA is solid for managed databases.
Caveat: Only 2 vCPU vs OVHcloud's 4; data transfer overage at $0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region; not OpenSearch-native (MySQL/PostgreSQL only).
Nearly identical monthly cost but includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box; 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Not OpenSearch; storage costs add up quickly (100GB = +$28/mo); no published platform SLA; regional pricing varies and Amsterdam base rates may not apply to your region.
