Is there anything inherently different (security, performance, or otherwise) about these servers of Runabove's?
I run a fair amount of dev servers, and that price ($2.50) is mind blowing. But i fear that it's far too cheap to be anything but a letdown.. Thoughts?
- blfr 12y agoThey're based on OpenStack where DO rolled out their own system, I believe. On the upside, you can use all the CLI tools (nova, etc) that come with OpenStack, existing software should be compatible, and you get some of the additional cloud features (object storage, security groups). On the downside, the panel isn't as nice. The "expert mode" is just OpenStack's Horizon. But the servers, the instances themselves, are not really any different. I benchmarked the cheapest one for ServerBear[1] a few days ago. The one thing I miss is IPv6. DO is ahead here. Would it be OK if I plugged my referral link[2]? With it, you get $10 to test things out.
