Alternatives Considered

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

I considered AWS EC2, but found the difference in operating costs compared to IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers to be too great.　It is the data transfer fee.AWS EC2: 0 cost for upload, pay-as-you-go for download　IBMCloud Bare Metarl Servers: no cost for both upload and downloadIn other words, for AWS EC2, the more frequently downloads are used, the more the operational costs increase.　As a result, we chose IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers.

Upgrade Process

Yes

No, the release upgrade process was uneventful.　The new Bare Metal Server is provisioned within about 3 hours of ordering. We were able to track the progress of the provisioning process, so there was no stress. The process of exporting the existing virtual server and importing it into the new server was completed quickly. Existing data was copied without any problems.
