Originally price, now price + API for deploying new instances. If you check out my fabfile.py script you'll see that I have EC2 setup and ready but I don't use it because it costs more, runs slower, and is a pain in the butt to maintain.
- rdl 14y agoOh, I meant vs. spending $20k on hardware, or partnering with someone like Softlayer/Rackspace as a promotional thing (I suspect either would be willing to give you a great deal to use as a marketing case)
- jcampbell1 14y agoMy guess... DO offers hardware in 60 seconds. Also cheaper/faster than EC2.
- your_perception 14y agoI am guessing you're using DO VPS for very specific purposes. I have a VPS on it myself, but they do not provide any way for VPSes to network with each other, which is annoying for multi-host setups. If you have them communicating with each other, I'd appreciate it if you shared your approach. And congrats on your increased traffic.
- conesus 14y agoIt's the one manual step I have to do. After I provision a server, I copy the IP and stick it in a few places (my fabfile, my hosts file that I then re-copy to every other machine, and my HAProxy config). While I do provision new servers regularly, I don't auto-scale, so I don't have a need for pure automation. It would be nice, but that's something I look into when I learn about new deployment procedures.
