Server recommendations for massive audio/video encodings

Hello.

I'm going to massively operate on audio/video encodings (mostly audio) with ffmpeg on the cloud. Daily load 1-2 million files, average duration 5 minute.

Considering long-term usage and price-to-perfomance ratio which server do you recommend for my usage scenario?

I prefer only vertical scaling if possible, otherwise don't care

Thanked by 1oloke

    Instead of cloud where billing is mostly non-predictive, a baremetal on AMD Epyc would make more sense?

  • Yeah doesn't matter, dedicated or bare metall

  • 1-2 million files per day 😳

    u serious? 1000000-2000000 5 minutes files PER DAY? i think the problem is where you gonna store these files, you may need TBs or tens of TBs disk PER DAY (depends on your kbps setting)
