- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoIIRC Scaleway discontinued it because they considered it too buggy, so probably not.
- lizardactivist 4y agoToo few customers. People reasoned (wrongfully I think) that ARM on the server-side was a gamble because ARM-based desktops and developer setups were not a big thing.
- bee_rider 4y agoThey appear to have been correct, for the last 5 years at least.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoMaybe that too, but officially the reason was reliability. > As explained in our email, Scaleway’s C2 and ARM Instances suffer from random instabilities that prevent us to keep market them - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22878771 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22878771 > As of December 1 st, 2020, our C2 and ARM64 Instances will reach their end-of-life. The physical servers hosting them are indeed randomly affected by several stability issues, which prevent us from fully guaranteeing the overall quality of service. - https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/g11uuj/scaleway_retiring_their_arm64c2_instances/ https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/g11uuj/scaleway...
- onli 4y agoI hosted my blog with them. Not too bad for a personal project (and the price was great), but the pingdom chart at that time had lots of holes. Those small ARM servers were quite nice and perfectly cheap, but reliable they really were not. Oh, and they were often out of stock, so they did not have not enough customers. Maybe not enough hardware supply.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoIt was the network based filesystem that was buggy. I had an atom server as well that used the same and they also discontinued that for the same reason. It was more of a service architectural problem than a technical one with ARM as a platform.
