Managed Database - MySQL · $3074.18/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Production B3-64 is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 87-94% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. The OVHcloud tier appears positioned for high-availability multi-node clusters, but even accounting for that, alternatives deliver better value.
Half the RAM but 8 vCPU at 87% lower cost with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: PostgreSQL, not MySQL; 32GB vs 64GB RAM; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB may add up if you have heavy egress.

MySQL match, 8 vCPU/32GB at 84% discount with 100% network uptime SLA and no surprise egress charges in most regions.
Caveat: 32GB RAM vs 64GB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost not included (though not relevant for MySQL).
8 vCPU/32GB at 84% savings with 99.99% SLA; pricing estimated from pattern but consistent with market.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED not directly confirmed; 32GB vs 64GB; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$96-120/mo).
8 vCPU/32GB at 84% lower cost, includes 400GB monthly transfer, data encryption, and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: 32GB vs 64GB RAM; data transfer overage at $0.09-0.132/GB is steep; regional pricing variation not fully transparent.
Matches 64GB RAM and 8 vCPU with built-in HA, backups, and connection pooling; closest spec parity to OVHcloud.
Caveat: PostgreSQL not MySQL; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing premiums; no published platform SLA; cross-region traffic up to $0.12/GB.
