So there's Memory Optimized, General Purpose... but there's no Compute Optimized? What gives?

- glogla 8y agoI guess there's less demand for that? I would like m5da, too.

Unfortunately, EC2 was still 8x cheaper because of spot pricing. 2 hours cost me $4 on DO but .50 on EC2 spot instances. Interestingly, a DO sales guy emailed me, more than once, because I used a compute droplet for 2 hours. They must be hard up for leads! Strange, he didn't get back to me when I told him what I was using it for.
