HP Cloud now in Public Beta
- jc4p 14y agoIgnoring every about the product, the "Go Ahead. Sign Up for the Public Beta" caption on the sign up button seems like it's taunting or threatening me.
- ragmondo 14y agoIt seems to about 10% of the cost of other CDNs... Where's the catch ?
- ridruejo 14y agoAWS CloudFront is $0.12 and HP CDN is $0.16/GB for first 10TB for USA. What pricing are you looking at?
- ragmondo 14y agoYou're right, it's not 10% of the industry. Misread the pricing structure. Thanks for the correction.
- sjs382 14y agoWhere are you finding prices for HP Cloud?
- ridruejo 14y agohttps://www.hpcloud.com https://www.hpcloud.com Click on Products, then on compute or CDN, etc. and then on pricing ...
- sjs382 14y agoWow, thanks. I was completely missing that nav with overview, pricing, etc.
- viraptor 14y agoclickable: https://www.hpcloud.com/pricing#CDN https://www.hpcloud.com/pricing#CDN
- tybris 14y agoThe catch is: that is not true.
- unreal37 14y agoOdd that CDN billing is based on "billing address" not the location of their CDN nodes you want to use. For what reason does a person in India pay 4 times as much for CDN as a person in USA?
- yardie 14y agoMaybe the offerings are better at the highend but some quick calculations has me paying about 33% more for their x-small vs EC2. Are they offering something else (Cus. service, HA, uptime?) that I can't currently get on AWS?
- nl 14y agoI've been playing with the private beta for a few weeks now, and I'm impressed with how quickly they are adding features. OpenStack (which HPCloud is based on) has a long way to go, but I think this is a promising (if overdue) start. If you want to play with OpenStack for free I can recommend https://trystack.org/ https://trystack.org/
- wmf 14y agoLooks like they copied the limitations of EC2 almost exactly. Boring.
- viraptor 14y agoLimitations? Do you mean the instance sizes, or architecture / capabilities?
- wmf 14y agoThe architecture, like one IP per VM and non-shared block storage. The sizes are even worse than EC2.
- viraptor 14y agoThe IP part is not correct - on hpcloud you can assign any number of IPs to a server. I'm not sure if ec2 interface supports it, but openstack one definitely does. But a shared block storage? You mean a read-only one? Otherwise it's a bit difficult to synchronise access in any useful way. I don't know of any FS that could handle a shared RW block storage.
- wmf 14y agoCloud Stockholm Syndrome strikes again. Try GFS2, OCFS2, StorNext, etc.
- viraptor 14y agoI thought you meant something else (transparent mounting of the device with synchronisation done by the provider). To be honest, I don't know if openstack implementation supports block device sharing at the moment, but there's definitely an open possibility (from the api response fragment): `"attachments": [],` - it's an array for a reason ;) I'd recommend actually checking before you say it's not there...
