My AWS cost optimiser is to use a hosting provider instead of AWS.

Using AWS may not be your decision. If you're stuck using it by company policy, OP's tool could make you a workplace hero.

Using Hetzner or IVH will cut your infra bill by 4x or 5x

		This is true, but be careful about losing the work experience. Companies love cloud computing and somehow are conditioned to want to pay for them and anyone who works on them. I received a devops job application rejection because they didn't see cloud computing providers on my resume. That's because I highlighted running my own dedicated servers.

Yup.

One day, as you spend vast resources tracking and cutting and worrying about your AWS expenses, you’ll think “hey I could cut 100% of AWS costs by not using it!”.

Thinking about cutting AWS costs is your first step on the journey to never using it.

		That’s great, until realise that you’re now spending money on infrastructure elsewhere instead. I’m not going to pretend AWS is cost effective for every type of problem. But the comments here are overly simplistic.
