It's sort of like a crack dealer's free tier. You know it's going to end miserably but you just can't help yourself.

- ignoramous 2y ago> a crack dealer's free tier Pretty sure GCP & AWS employ a lot of ex-Oracle people.
- sourcecodeplz 2y agoNot necessarily, use it for testing only (not production) and you will be fine.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoI run a little kube cluster on it that serves as the brain for my home lab on it and it’s been cranking along just fine for the better part of half a year. It’s all IaC and ephemeral so if it died tomorrow I could just restart it. Quite generous for $0
- ls612 2y agoCan you feasibly run a homelab C&C server on the free tier of any of the big 3?
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoIt’s possible to run a single node cluster on GCP for almost free, especially if you’re creative with spot instance. But afaik, not really otherwise. OCI is far and away more generous, giving you 4 dedicated always on nodes, which is just enough to run a decent mini cluster
- delecti 2y agoI know you're talking about the cloud offerings, but the idea of using just a little bit of crack as "not production" is hilarious to me.
- bayindirh 2y agoI also have a couple of ARM servers there, nothing fancy. The internal networks and machine are extremely snappy for what they provide. Even the containers I threw in run great. If you need small needs, it's a good provider. The dashboard is very convoluted, though.
- Havoc 2y agoMines been running fine for years now
- pryelluw 2y agoHow much crack do you do a day?
- CyberDildonics 2y agoWhere do live that people are giving away crack?
