The actual migration, a day or less. Now there was a 2-week sprint for testing and validating backup and restore before doing the actual migration. At the non-engineering level (management and such) of course there was a review and consideration time as well.
I'd also like to hear more detail (budget, time, people and skills) on
real cases.
When I had research students I set a few of them doing studies on
migration, degoogling, data "repatriation" (ick!) and all the things I
think we now call "sovereignty". But there was lots of theory and
precious few solid, documented studies. There were also hundreds of
propaganda pieces and Google/Microsoft/Amazon shill pieces sowing
disinfo.
Surely that's changed now and the economic realities are clearer?
The reliability of OVH has so far not been a problem. Performance is mostly a factor of the VM instances that you use, AWS has much more instances to choose from, but obviously at a much higher cost, so performance per dollar is obviously better with OVH.
> AWS S3 is the premier cloud-based object storage service. It may have higher availability, but it’s three times more expensive than OVH’s S3 storage.
One obvious benefit of OVH compared to Hetzner is the S3 storage, the Kubernetes framework and a number of other services provided by OVH, don't think Hetzner would provide those services.
Long time Hetzner user, but I would not trust new system (S3 storage) in this case for things beyond playground and tests until it has at least couple of years in production - Hetzner just made it public in ~ Nov 2024.
