Analytics - OpenSearch · $147.75/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-8 at $147.75/mo is significantly overpriced for an OpenSearch managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 25-75% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud plan's future APAC egress charges and separate IPv4 billing add further risk.
Quarter the price with 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM; 99.99% SLA beats OVHcloud's undisclosed uptime; bandwidth overages are transparent and rare for typical workloads.
Caveat: Half the RAM and storage of OVHcloud tier, so only suitable if you don't need the full 8GB; verify OpenSearch feature parity for your use case.
Matches OVHcloud's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 46% lower cost; 99.9-99.99% SLA; egress charges are transparent (EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free).
Caveat: Only 20GB SSD storage vs OVHcloud's 80-400GB; non-HA by default; note this is PostgreSQL/MySQL, not OpenSearch, so feature compatibility must be verified.
8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 36% savings; 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances offer 38% additional discount (down to ~$59/mo); compute-only estimate is conservative.
Caveat: Price excludes storage and Premium SSD IOPS charges; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; PostgreSQL, not OpenSearch, so verify compatibility.
Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box; 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU; storage billed separately at transparent $0.28/GB; no surprise tier-lock penalties.
Caveat: 91% more expensive than OVHcloud; region-based pricing premiums apply; PostgreSQL only, not OpenSearch; extra RAM and stopped-machine storage incur per-second billing.
