  Vast is a p2p marketplace, so that doesn't narrow it down lol

  Also FYI if you haven't used Vast before, it's unlikely you'll reach anywhere near 10G on a lot of those providers because a lot of them perform like shit and network is shared across lots of renters, and don't trust what the listing says.

  You know you can just attach a local volume if you need persistent storage? And then it doesn't go over the network.

  Scaleway elastic metal

  AMD EPYC 8434P 48C / 96T - 2.5 GHz
  384 GB DDR5 ECC 3.2 GHz 2 × 3.84 TB NVMe

  €1.2/hour + 25gbps addon €2.05/hour

  Yeah, you definitely should use hourly dedi
  If you have extra money, get 64*32GB DDR4 and setup a ramdisk (ram costs $8.32K) for maximum write speed then colo

  In case you aren't aware Vast charges insane prices for bandwidth. Be warned! And from personal experience

  1. the providers set the price, not vast
  2. not all of them charge for bandwidth
  3. you can see it before renting

  All three are true, though very few providers have free bw

  100+ offers, we must have a different definition of "very few". This includes some that charge $0.005/TB which is effectively free.

  What sucks with Vast though, in my experience, is that instances just get stuck sometimes and they keep billing you. I've had to contact support multiple times because of that.
