I was really excited about Scaleway until shit started going wrong with my test C1 box there. They sent an email asking me to update my "boot script" (kernel version). You can only do this, it seems, when the box is shut down, except there is no power management on the box. The only option they have is to copy the contents of the box to cold storage. Great. It took 4 hours or so.
When I brought the box back online it would stay online for about a day and then lock up for no reason. I spun up a new one, copied the data from the old volume to the new one. Why can't I clone or detach a volume from a running box? It was a read-only data-only volume. The copying between two boxes was at 12Mbps... In the end, the new box had the same lockup problem. Not it's not my software. It had been running without changes for 6 months prior with no downtime. Oh and in the end it locked up again and when it came back online in rescue mode, it was basically a brand new install. My home directory was gone, root password had been reset, all the configuration was not there.
Also no IPv6 for bare metal ARM boxes.
tl;dr: I moved on because of inflexible control panel and random hardware issues. Really wanted to like it.
