We had recent migration from AWS to Hetzner. We used combined clusters with ondemand + spot instances. After migration to Hetzner we doubled capacity and still saved around half. AWS is very good for flexible work loads, but if load and process is constant and well defined, bare metal hosting much more effective. And there are a lot of well known bare metal hosting providers on the market.

if workload is constant, nothing beats baremetal in term of cost.
