What’s the benefit of arm cloud instances to consumers?
None I can think of.
- pas 6y agoIn theory, price.
- stevekemp 6y agoI wanted an monitoring host, which would just run HTTP/SSH/PING/FTP tests against my real infrastructure. So I googled providers with decent reviews that were cheap. I ended up with an ARM instance, which was just fine for me. Since my monitoring application[1] was golang based it was a quick cross-compile to get a binary I could deploy to the host. The host itself ran Debian , and all the packages I'd expect were easily available. TLDR: Cheap and easy to deploy to. 1 - https://github.com/skx/overseer/ https://github.com/skx/overseer/

- GordonS 6y agoAside from price, you could argue they are better for the environment because they use less power, which matters to a segment of consumers.
