I am planning to deploy mediasoup server on some cloud service, which one is recommended and which one is good option in terms of costs?

I cannot recommend anymore as I’m in house with wavelength now, but here’s a 4vCore stat, as I run 4 cores per IP on my instance. The machine is used 50% most times across all cores so we could probably double the result. There’s about 15 servers now and the use is for the most part equally distributed. We can expect a loaded machine to achieve above 200Mbit/s. The up-to for users is I believe 300KB/s so if you increase bitrate beyond that such would reflect. Got hundreds upon hundreds of users so can’t really break down specific room usage/etc, better to generalize it.
```auto
daily
rx | tx | total | avg. rate
------------------------+-------------+-------------+---------------
yesterday 160.55 GiB | 611.76 GiB | 772.31 GiB | 76.78 Mbit/s
today 174.86 GiB | 657.41 GiB | 832.27 GiB | 86.03 Mbit/s
------------------------+-------------+-------------+---------------
estimated 181.80 GiB | 683.51 GiB | 865.32 GiB |
```
My best advice is make sure you get about 100Mbit/s per core, and speed test and check that speed world wide, a host could be many hops away from main provider like AT&T or COGENTCO.
The bandwidth monthly, I would say have about 10TB per core for egress.
This has happened to me with OVH, they’ll assume all my traffic is a DDOS attack when users join/leave sessions; they would vacuum up connections and everyone would complain to loss feed. Overall avoid a service that false alerts you and destroys quality… In short, threw OVH $500 no refunds they kept insisting they’d tune their systems…
Good luck, my previous host was black.host and I would still hit them up.
