Comment on Ask HN: Would you load balance traffic without CDNparent

Comments

Thank you for answer! Yep, I'm moving to ovh because you pay for channel, not for consumed traffic. Ovh has a load balancer, but for 0.5pb per month it will cost you 15k. Data is mostly outbound. Haproxy will help until the channel is not saturated. EDIT I've checked linode pricing, their lb has a flat fee because it includes 2tb of traffic :)

Sounds like you need to perhaps consider egress data costs as a high priority factor when comparing services - by my calculation 500,000 GB on Linode would be about $2.5K, even ignoring any included transfer allowance.

Like I said: linode will charge you about $2.5K for half a petabyte of data.

Check hetzner instead of OVH
