Virtual Instances · $171.03/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A8C-32G is end-of-life and overpriced at $171.03/mo for 8 vCPU/32GB. Several providers offer 8 vCPU/16-24GB configurations at $15-32/mo with lower renewal penalties, though none match the full 32GB RAM at comparable cost. The best value depends on whether you need exactly 32GB or can work with 16-24GB.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/11th the Scaleway price with only 99.90% SLA vs Scaleway's implied 99.9%.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, 99.9% SLA at roughly 1/9th the Scaleway cost.
Caveat: Only 16GB RAM (not 32GB); traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, 99.99% SLA at 1/8th the Scaleway price.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year term); renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is tiered at $0.036/GB.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic, 99.99% SLA at 1/7th the Scaleway cost.
Caveat: Only 200GB storage (vs Scaleway's implied larger allocation); IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 450GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 1 Gbit/s port at 1/5th the Scaleway cost if you need more storage.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid term pricing; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
