Many months later and more than 5 times more expensive than Scaleway though. https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/

- xeromal 5y agoBut I can do everything I need in one system with AWS.
- speedgoose 5y agoYes, many people find value in being locked down with a single cloud provider. It can make sense, but sometimes you don't need the AWS ecosystem and just need an online server.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIf you’re testing software on an M1, what is the benefit of AWS?
- ithkuil 5y agoPerhaps you have other stuff on AWS, in a VPC, that is administered by an operations team which is several tickets away from you and/or you have to talk with seven layers of management before you convince anybody that a VPN peering with a cloud provider may be cheaper than the hours you just wasted with expensive meetings just used to discuss the possibility of setting up a VPN peering let alone actually executing it and maintaining it... Yeah, many companies will gladly pay an inflated per instance price as long as every else flows smoothly
- Nextgrid 5y agoI'm assuming there are no data transfer fees. If your M1 workload needs significant data, that alone could make it cheaper than having a cheaper external M1 and then paying every time you move data out of AWS into it.
- nostrebored 5y agoAnd then as an enterprise I have to build in my IAM, auditing, artifact generation, etc. into the solution. I will pay the 5x.
- speedgoose 5y agoIn your case you should probably pay the 5.7x yes (and probably more when you consider bandwidth).
- samcrawford 5y agoHetzner's offering is competitive too. 58 EUR/mo at https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-apple https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-apple
- tyingq 5y agoIt is half the RAM (8GB vs 16GB), but €0.10/Hour is still attractive.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoLooks great, can I use it as an instance to send and receive iMessage? I could do it with my computer at home but if I can set it as a trigger able instance every few minutes to send and receive iMessage it would be pretty cool for serving iMessage to Android.
- tcbawo 5y agoIf someone could offer this as a service, I would pay for it. I get a lot of social pressure from family and certain friend groups due to being one of the few non-iPhone users.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoBeeper does offer this service, but you can self host it for much less.
- michaeljgerace 5y agoLook into BlueBubbles or AirMessage.
- handrous 5y agoMy friend group solved some people using Android phones by moving entirely to WhatsApp, years ago.
