Managed Database - MySQL · $654.23/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Business DB1-15 at $654.23/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed MySQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU) at 10-20% of the cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs.
MySQL/PostgreSQL managed database with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 1/8th the OVHcloud price, with straightforward egress billing (75GB free/month, then EUR 0.01/GB).
Caveat: Non-HA by default; pricing in EUR so subject to exchange-rate fluctuation; lower vCPU count (2 vs 4) may not suit high-concurrency workloads.

| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU managed database at 1/8.5th the cost with 99.99% SLA and simple bandwidth overage model ($0.01/GB past pooled allowance).
Caveat: Product is OpenSearch (search/analytics), not MySQL; verify workload compatibility before migrating.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU managed database at 1/6.9th the cost; 99.99% SLA and 38-55% discount available on 1-3 year reserved instances.
Caveat: PostgreSQL, not MySQL; compute-only estimate excludes storage; Premium SSD IOPS/throughput billed separately; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU managed Postgres at 1/6.5th the cost with 99.95% SLA and included backups.
Caveat: PostgreSQL not MySQL; persistent disk storage ($0.25/GB/month) and storage overage ($0.30/GB/month) billed separately; bandwidth overage rate unclear (~$0.15/GB estimated).
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU managed database at 1/5.7th the cost with 200GB monthly transfer included and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); no vCPU count specified; lower confidence on exact specs.
