Agreed. The bandwidth is overpriced. None of this should be served from the cloud, but from a CDN instead.
That being said. I wouldn't try to push the limits of Digital Ocean too much. I have an ex coworker who looked into moving a compute grid to Digital Ocean, pinning a number of instances to full CPU, he quickly got contacted by support to stop before they shut down the account.
- lildoggo 8y agoThat's odd that he had the ability to max the cpu's in the first place right? Was he violating some terms or agreement?
- user5994461 8y agoNot at all. Just running a normal computing grid consuming any CPU resources that's available. It was for scientific simulations for a research center, think of something like weather forecast. Clearly, Digital Ocean didn't want to serve that use case. They don't want customers to use all the resources that they are paying for. They're probably under provisioning power and cooling by a large factor.
