Given the details provided, altdataseller's is advice is pretty sound, but given the listed hardware specs and workload description ('data analysis project'), there may be some features in ClickHouse Cloud that could help bring your costs down to a more reasonable level:
• Idling - your cluster will scale to zero during periods of inactivity. If this is a relatively ad-hoc data analysis project, you'll benefit from the usage-based model (ie - if you're only actively running queries 10% of the time, you won't pay for the other 90%)
• Autoscaling — similar to above, if your workload is fairly bursty, your cluster will scale up and down based on resource demand
• 'Development' tier clusters — given the OVH specs listed, likely this isn't a good fit, but depending on your workload, the 2x8GiB setup can be a very cost-effective option
Happy to chat further about your workload and potential cost optimizations that can be made in ClickHouse Cloud if you're interested — email in my profile.
