Kudos, very cool. Maybe instead of 'no disk' something like 'SSD for boot media, no local bulk storage' would be clearer, as I was a little confused by this as other posters below were. It's also a little interesting that the 'High CPU' option has the fewest cores of the three options... Any comments on that?
- vehementi 12y agoIt's low on other resources so it's probably lowest cost per CPU.
- russell_h 12y agoThat's basically correct, we were trying to balance a few factors: - Total cost - Cost per core - Clock speed (this actually matters a lot for, say, a Python webapp) We chose to run only a single CPU in this box to keep the total cost of the box low. This slightly increase the cost per core (switch ports, the chassis, rack space, etc being basically fixed overhead per node), but by selling in smaller increments we think it we can keep the total cost lower for most users. We'll be gathering feedback on the resource balance, and iterating as we go.
