I wish DigitalOcean would have one or two instances of each type (perhaps only the most popular distros, to avoid having too many unused instances sitting around) so that creating a new VPS is instant. Of course, some of the time - when multiple people are setting up instances - you'd have to wait the normal 60 seconds. But sometimes, it would be instant. That would be great.
- icebraining 11y agoDon't really see the point; deployment usually takes more than that anyway. If it's to avoid waiting to start the deployment process, just have it create the VM using the API - it's just a POST request.
- bbcbasic 11y agoYour idea is good but not relevant to the posted article, which is about physical server utilization. You could probably implement your idea just for yourself with a script though.
- kaolinite 11y agoYou're right - I should have pointed out that it was only a tangentially related thought. Something I think about whenever I boot up an instance.
