I made a habit out of measuring the disk performance of cloud servers, so here it is:<p><pre><code> ubuntu@instantcloud:~$ dd bs=1M count=1024 if=&#x2F;dev&#x2F;zero of=test conv=fdatasync 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 11.0101 s, 97.5 MB&#x2F;s ubuntu@instantcloud:~$ sudo hdparm -tT &#x2F;dev&#x2F;nbd0 &#x2F;dev&#x2F;nbd0: Timing cached reads: 2180 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1090.44 MB&#x2F;sec Timing buffered disk reads: 268 MB in 3.02 seconds = 88.85 MB&#x2F;sec</code></pre>

Back at the office, we were recently talking about the possibility of really cheap (in terms of power requirement) cloud servers which are equivalent of raspberryPi&#x27;s with soldered on flash cards around the 32-64gig range. I&#x27;d bet you can pack a shitload of these in a 1U box and still have power and cooling to spare. The only expensive part might be budgeting for all those ethernet ports on the switch and uplink capacity (for bandwidth intensive servers).<p>One of the engineers tried running our server stack on a raspberry for a laugh.. I was gobsmacked to hear that the whole thing just worked (it&#x27;s a custom networking protocol stack running in userspace) if just a bit slower than usual. I can imagine making use of loads of ultra-cheap servers distributed all around the world... IF the networking issue can be solved.<p>Perhaps the time is right for a more compact and cheaper wired networking solution... maybe limit the bandwidth to 1Gbps but make it ultra compact with much cheaper electronics. Sigh... a man can dream.

A truly great way to demo a product while also making use of unallocated resources.<p>Unfortunately the latency to the servers from Australia is so poor and makes it practically unusable.<p>Here is a trace from my 100Mbit fibre:<p><pre><code> samm ~ % mtr -n --report 212.47.250.196 Start: Fri Apr 10 19:36:45 2015 HOST: samm-mbp Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1.|-- 192.168.0.1 0.0% 10 1.7 2.0 1.6 4.7 0.7 2.|-- 150.101.212.44 0.0% 10 2.7 3.1 2.5 4.2 0.0 3.|-- 150.101.208.65 0.0% 10 5.3 6.9 2.7 38.1 11.0 4.|-- 150.101.33.28 0.0% 10 28.3 20.8 14.6 28.3 5.6 5.|-- 150.101.33.149 0.0% 10 170.6 170.4 170.1 170.8 0.0 6.|-- 62.115.33.97 0.0% 10 170.8 170.8 170.1 171.4 0.0 7.|-- 213.155.135.156 0.0% 10 240.9 240.7 240.2 241.2 0.0 8.|-- 80.91.251.103 0.0% 10 322.3 335.0 321.4 413.3 30.2 9.|-- 213.155.136.209 20.0% 10 319.7 329.8 317.9 355.6 14.4 10.|-- 62.115.40.86 0.0% 10 319.1 319.3 318.7 320.0 0.0 11.|-- 195.154.1.41 0.0% 10 332.5 333.0 332.3 333.9 0.0 12.|-- ??? 100.0 10 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 13.|-- ??? 100.0 10 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 14.|-- ??? 100.0 10 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 15.|-- 212.47.250.196 0.0% 10 395.0 334.8 319.4 395.0 23.5 </code></pre> Edit: Spelling (Typo)

Interesting, without any information for the user ( no credit card required ), it is really interesting how they prevent usage of this box as a hacking machine.

Tried it for 30mins. I installed apache2 and made a quick mirror of my personal homepage with wget.<p>After the 30min session the window closed and it told me that session expired. Although the actual server was still up at the ip. About 5 minutes later apache shut down, so I guess the server was destroyed.<p>This is great for experimenting things. You could quickly for example test &quot;sudo rm -rf&quot; at the root and see what it does. Nice one!

FWIW: We recently talked about their servers, hardware and such: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9309459" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9309459</a>

Seems like a really smart way to use spare capacity to market your services. Especially so when your services aren&#x27;t quite the norm (i.e. ARM rather than x86)

Apparently they also have Object storage which seems to be way cheaper than AWS Glacier.<p>€0.02 GB&#x2F;month, with unlimited requests and transfer <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scaleway.com&#x2F;pricing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scaleway.com&#x2F;pricing</a>

My password had an &quot;0&quot; in it - I had to guess whether it was a number or a letter.

The tag line &quot;Get your 30 minutes free server&quot; is extremely confusing.<p>Do you mean to say &quot;Get a free server for 30 minutes&quot;?

If ovh ever puts ssd on their kimsufi, they will blow all the micro-servers out of the water<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kimsufi.com&#x2F;ca&#x2F;en&#x2F;index.xml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kimsufi.com&#x2F;ca&#x2F;en&#x2F;index.xml</a><p>Meanwhile for $42 you can get dedicated SSD<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.soyoustart.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;essential-servers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.soyoustart.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;essential-servers&#x2F;</a><p>The only problem with all of these is no ECC

I just get what looks like a mac window div (judging by the class `terminal` I guess it&#x27;s supposed to be a terminal to the server) saying &#x27;the server refused the connection&#x27;.

Isn&#x27;t the point of &quot;Cloud&quot; computing, high availability, high uptime? If there&#x27;s a hardware failure on your &quot;cloud machine&quot; it just fails, and there&#x27;s no recovery. This sounds like just regular hosting and not cloud hosting, please correct me if I&#x27;m misunderstanding how this is set up.

Mostly of off-topic, but I have to ask: what&#x27;s the state of Go compilers for ARM nowadays? Are they generating optimized code on par with x86 ones?

My session lasted for 35 minutes - The web app closed after 30 but my VNC connection continued, presumably because someone else took my slot.

No offense, but &quot;30 minutes... with a click&quot; is pretty standard in the age of AWS. It&#x27;s not a good headline anymore :)

I just get a timeout in the terminal-like window. SSH-ing to it also doesn&#x27;t work.

Are there any restrictions on what you can do? Input&#x2F;output ports blocked?

Your page breaks the back button, at least on a busy error. Not cool, guys.

this is great. I just wish digitalocean would deploy faster. it says 60 seconds but more than often it takes several minutes to load a snapshot or destroying can take ages (since you are still billed for idle and off servers).
