Managed Database - MySQL · $1242.39/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Advanced B3-16 at $1242.39/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 2-4 vCPU managed databases at $76-$175/mo with comparable or better reliability, making this plan roughly 7-16x more expensive than genuine alternatives.
Lowest-cost managed database option with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU, includes 99.99% SLA, and transparent bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a general-purpose relational database like MySQL; verify workload compatibility.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
MySQL/PostgreSQL managed database at $80/mo with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU, 99.9% SLA, and 75GB free egress per month.
Caveat: Non-HA single-node design; no high-availability failover included, unlike OVHcloud's 3-node cluster.
8GB RAM / 2 vCPU managed PostgreSQL at $95/mo with 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances drop to ~$59/mo (92% savings).
Caveat: Compute-only estimate excludes storage; Premium SSD IOPS and retrieval fees can add significant cost; storage pricing not included in quote.
Managed PostgreSQL at $100/mo with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 99.95% SLA; includes automated backups and connection pooling.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overages at ~$0.15/GB; storage overage at ~$0.30/GB/month beyond included allocation.
True 2-node HA cluster with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA; includes automatic failover and replication.
Caveat: Simple Backups add-on surcharges range 10-60% depending on retention policy; data transfer overages possible despite free-egress marketing.
