Virtual Instances · $2406.08/mo (512 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HM-64C-512G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $2406/mo. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior 256GB RAM configurations at 60-75% lower cost, though none match the full 64vCPU/512GB spec exactly. For most workloads, stepping down to 256GB RAM unlocks dramatic savings with minimal real-world performance trade-off.
Half the price of Scaleway with 256GB RAM, 32vCPU, and 400GB NVMe; strong 99.99% SLA and transparent pricing.
Caveat: Only 256GB RAM vs 512GB; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
