I'm using a VC1S for 2,99€ 2x Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2750 @ 2.40GHz The ARM cores are slower - there was a thread a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9309459 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9309459 the X86 servers are not very fast either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11251671 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11251671 but if you look at the numbers in that thread it's likely that DO overbooks their machines and if you are unlucky you can end up with slower performance than on Scaleway. But for me it doesn't matter. I'm not doing heavy computational lifting and for nginx + some database it's fine and 2GB memory is pretty nice to have. A minor annoyance is that you can't choose the kernel version and you are stuck on 4.5.7 at the moment - I guess if you care about local security priv escalation bugs it's a no go. But docker seems to work and you can select a kernel flavour in the admin menu. Another annoyance is only a /128 IPv6 address for the VPSs - but IIRC the dedicated boxes get a /48 But for 3€/month I'm more than happy - you usually only get OpenVZ VMs with ancient 2.6.36 kernel for that price if at all.
