Focus on making a product that makes money and afterwards build with containers and these complex-to-maintain technologies.
Start simple and take care of your scalability problems when you have them, not before.

You're completely right. You can get an amazing server in a very good hosting provider at a fraction of AWS. Really. You can get for $200/month a good server in a good hosting that costs literally $5000/month or more on AWS. Azure and Google are not different.
What you don't get is all their regions, easy scalability with EBS, managed services, etc. But all of that has a very high price, and depending on who you are and what you're trying to do, these cloud providers are probably the worst option.

Curious if this also holds for spot nodes...
For build and test tasks... sure scalability would be needed.
What would you suggest, scaleway seems to have poor APIs for automation, and atom CPUs so not useful..

Main thing was security... DO now offers F/W now though.
The cheapest seems to be more than $40, but based on the description its only allocated $5 to $10 worth of computing. I am using Linode or Digital Ocean pricing for that, but even with Amazon's inflated EC2 pricing it's probably like $25 max.
So I can't justify paying $40 per month when I can get the same horsepower for $10 or $20. I can set up an open source system for monitoring and containers restart automatically.
For people that have $200,000 burning a hole in their pocket, it may be a different story.
