Kool.
- robert-boehnke 9y agoThey should spawn more overlords instead.
- sova 9y agoYou have not enough Vespene Gas
- tfcata 9y agoOverlords only need mineral, 100 each.
- sova 9y agoYou're right. Mea culpa, I always played Protoss.
- keeganpoppen 9y agoin case you haven’t already noticed, hacker news is not a place for jokes...
- daodedickinson 9y agoWe require more mineralsssss
- AdamJacobMuller 9y agoDid they just inadvertently point out why this is a bad idea for anything general-purpose?
- derefr 9y agoNot really; those are exactly the sort of config settings you'd sensibly use to prevent someone from DDoSing your untrusted prototype-level infrastructure. If your VMs are truly cheap, and you've ironed out the kinks from your proof-of-concept, you'd obviously set up your production system to run more than 16 of them.

- StreamBright 9y agoRight, and who decides that a request coming from a customer ot an attacker? If the attacker can generate enough requests non of the customers have a chance to use your service. This is absolutely not the way to handle DDoS.
- derefr 9y agoMy point was that it's a sensible strategy for the demo of a technology that's still under development (like this project), where you don't actually have any "customers." In production, you'd let it scale unboundedly, and combine it with some sort of anti-DDoS technology like Cloudflare.
- Dylan16807 9y agoIt depends on how many resources it takes to run those 16 instances. If it's an extremely small demo allocation, then that's not a big deal. If it's multiple gigabytes and cores then the efficiency is awful.
- rozap 9y agoThe point is to show boot times. If you are scaling up/down in response to load, this is a nice quality to have. Most folks have really spiky traffic patterns so this can save you a lot of money. Obviously no one would ever run something like this 1 vm per request thing irl.
