What cpu do you think your workload is using on AWS?
GCP exposes their cpu models, and they have some Haswell and Broadwell lithographies in service.
Thats a 10+ year old part, for those paying attention.
- dilyevsky 2y agoMost of GCP and some AWS instances will migrate to another node when it’s faulty. Also disk is virtual. None of this applies to baremetal hetzner
- dijit 2y agoWhy is that relevant to what I said?
- dilyevsky 2y agoOnly relevant if you care about reliability
- dijit 2y agoAWS was working “fine” for about 10 years without live migration, and I’ve had several individual machines running without a reboot or outage for quite literally half a decade. Enough to hit bugs like this: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00092491en_us&docLocale=en_US https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00092... Anyway, depending on individual nodes to always be up for reliability is incredibly foolhardy. Things can happen, cloud isn't magic, I’ve had instances become unrecoverable. Though it is rare. So, I still don’t understand the point, that was not exactly relevant to what I said.
- tsimionescu 2y agoI think they meant that Hetzner is offering specific machines they know to be faulty and should have EOLd to customers, not that they use deprecated CPUs.
- dijit 2y agoThats scary if true, any sources? My google-fu is failing me. :/
- akvadrako 2y agoIt's not scary, it's part of the value proposition. I used to work for a company that rented lots of hetzner boxes. Consumer grade hardware with frequent disk failures was just what we excepted for saving a buck.
- tsimionescu 2y agoSorry, I have no idea if this is true. I was just pointing out what the GP was trying to claim.
