Rackspace Spot – Rackspace – Pricing Page

When I worked at rackspace in 2016&#x2F;2017 we couldn&#x27;t even internally get a critical Openstack server reprovisioned after it was accidentally given 4GB of disk instead of 4GB of ram and would break when it ran out of disk space. Nobody knew how to reprovision it and the company&#x27;s internal documentation wasn&#x27;t accurate so the server malingered around with its unnecessarily large 64GB memory pool.<p>Just sayin&#x27;.

Anyone know why the instances lose 256MB RAM for every 4GB allocated? 3.75 (4), 7.5 (8), 15 (16), etc?

Do I understand correctly that this will also change the price while I am using it? So if I get a server now at $1&#x2F;h and run it overnight can the price jump so that the price will actually be $2&#x2F;h?<p>Or is the price at purchase locked in?

Rackspace? Wooowww. Tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999.

theplanet.com anyone?

Who is using Rackspace Cloud today and why?<p>I am not talking of managed services, but infrastructure services.<p>This feels like a Japanese soldier in the jungle still shooting left over ammo after the war has been over for more than 10 years.

I thought Rackspace was dead, but then I looked it up.<p>It is a public company traded as Nasdaq: RXT, it still has $<i>3B</i> revenue per year but market cap at $600M. For comparison DigitalOcean only has $600M revenue but at $3.5B market cap.<p>I remember they purchased Slicehost, that was the major competitor against Linode before DO was a thing. And everything since then went down hill. I was hoping Rackspace would provide the infrastructure and BareMetal while Slicehost would be the VPS ( I think Cloud meant something different back then but I may be wrong ).<p>Time to buyout Rackspace and Make Slicehost Great Again &#x2F;s
