It is with great pleasure that we can (finally!) pull the wraps off our São Paulo metro, our 18th since last summer, and our 13th new metro this calendar year.
Our operations team deserves
so much
credit for conquering a variety of challenges, not the least of which was the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which has hit our friends and family in Brazil quite hard. We even wrote down some lessons learned along the way.With the SP Metro live, you can now deploy both m3.large and c3.medium on-demand (with s3.xlarge coming in soon). Everything, of course, is also available via reservation.
One thing to note is that, like other clouds, we have higher costs in Brazil than in places like the US or Europe. You'll notice that on-demand pricing is 50% higher than our baseline.
Any questions? Want to go with us to Brazil? Reach out and let's have a chat!
