- mmt 8y agoSomeone has started, at least for AWS, as this was on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17551796 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17551796 Interestingly, many of the comments are asking for support for GCP, although the response seems to be that Google's tools might be better (enough) than Amazon's that it's not as urgent.
- mabynogy 8y agoInteresting. The mockup on their homepage give some prices. With their 1610$ example, one could rent a whole datacenter (1000 i3 with 4Gb and 4Tb HDD at 1.6$ per day - 50$ per month). I sent you a mail yesterday. Maybe it went to the spam folder.
- mmt 8y agoThat example corresponds to $49k monthly, which, among "Silicon Valley" tech companies is, apparently, not a huge amount. To be fair, the machines you specify are pretty tiny and would easily fit into a half-U enclosure. Even assuming only 36U usable (after network, power, etc) per rack, those thousand would fit in 14 racks, a very small fraction of a whole datacenter. (I did see the e-mail.. I think I have HN emails explicitly bypass spam. I'll check out your site and reply privately later today)
