FYI I'm from Packet. Agreed reliability is important (I'll let others comment on our own record) but I'd say there is significant workload via spot market, batch processing, etc that doesn't need uptime and is interested in cost.
Also, I've seen most users want 99.9+% uptime. 2% downtime is 14 hours in a short month. People would probably get angry about that...
- shadeslayer 10y agoHey Any chance you guys are going to offer something that is on the lower end of the spectrum for ARMv8 in terms of pricing? For eg. Scaleway has ARMv7 servers for 3 EUR/month (https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/)
- zsmith928 10y agoYes, we are considering a Type 0 ARM server, but we are still working through the proper design to enable full Armv8 (vs v7).
- shadeslayer 10y agoSweet :D I'll keep an eye on the Packet website. I did try out the ARMv8 server, a bit disappointed that the hardware did not support backwards compatibility with ARMv7 though :(
- dylz 10y agoLooking for something similarly priced to scaleway in US too. Have a ton of services with them, but can't find an alternative at lower latency.
