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.
