Scaleway C2 Ramp Up: 10 000 BareMetal Servers per Month
- mstolpm 10y agoHas anyone already tried scaleways C2 instances and can share some insights? I've tried their other offers (not BareMetal) and had mixed results.
- ciot1CDM 10y agoBeware: their servers do not use ECC memory. I believe building reliable, internet-scale services on such hardware is impossible. Having single bit errors, which are hardly rare [0], silently propagate is a recipe for disaster. I applaud Scaleway for the foresight of building custom, sale-out hardware, however, that this is their second effort and still lacking in ECC use is very, very, disappointing. I would love to use this hardware, it's almost the perfect design, but it's tragically flawed as is.
