It makes it much harder to flood a given site with a large number of actions. For instance, if you require SMS verification for account signup, and you don't allow the same phone number to be used for more than, say, two signups per mo

I opened a support ticket, and Amazon just responded to say that yes, ELBs are vulnerable. I've posted their reply into that thread.

It's already at the top of the homepage, as a separate submission.

VMs generally do not have this type of vulnerability (buffer overrun). Also, most vulnerabilities in (e.g.) the JVM can only be exploited by running malicious code inside the VM. Here, the attacker is supplying data used by OpenSSL, but i

Typically, someone who is already using some form of cloud-based infrastructure. From there, it's a fairly easy step to send your monitoring data to a specialized service. And cloud infrastructure can pose monitoring challenges (server

As I probably should have clarified, this issue is specific to a single page in the demo, which we do not even link to at the moment (aside from a couple of older posts on our blog). Yes, it is embarrassing, and I apologize. However, if thi

Yes, on the client. See "Redaction" at scalyr.com/agent.

Log analysis is the heart of the product, but we also gather system metrics, provide notifications (scalyr.com/helpalerts), and we recently rolled out a basic active-checks feature (scalyr.com/helpMonitors). There's lots more

Oop -- thanks! We'll sort this out, might take a little while though.

We've been hearing that loud and clear. :) FWIW, the price actually works quite well for a lot of people. On a GB-for-GB basis, we're actually much cheaper than other hosted log management solutions -- we work hard on backend effi

Thanks for the feedback! Demoing a log management product is a bit tricky, because it's hard to come up with a representative data set that isn't sensitive. FWIW, we have put together a demo based on data scraped from the Github A

[Scalyr founder here] We take security very seriously, but let me turn this around into a question: what would it take for you to trust an external service to manage your logs? Some of the things we're doing: 1. SSL everywhere (includi

(Scalyr founder here) Thanks for the feedback. Agreed, we haven't done much to present the product yet. For the last couple of years, we've been focusing on building out the product while keeping our early users happy -- making su

Scalyr [1] can do this. (Disclaimer: I am the founder of Scalyr, and it's a commercial product.) We aim to be a one-stop-shopping monitoring tool: collect everything you might want to collect, and let you analyze it in any way you want

We posted a calculator that does exactly this: https://scalyr.com/cloud . It will let you compute a "normalized" monthly cost for the various reserved and non-reserved options, customized for your usage and cost of

Culture is what you make it. I'm a big believer in power naps, and I used to work at Google. This was a while ago and there were no nap rooms in my building, so I just lay down on a couch and zonked for twenty minutes every afternoon.

Good catch on the cc2.8xlarge disk -- thanks! As for the GB/$: by default we display prices assuming you'll use the server 24 hours a day for one month. That means that if you take a reservation, you'll be reselling it a mont

Have you seen pricing for the i2 instances? Amazon doesn't seem to have posted it yet. I'll look into getting the c3 instances added.

We'd love to get more providers - would you be interested in adding some? Instructions are linked from the upper-right corner of the page.

You clicked on a link in the "one hour/day" section. If you use the server for one hour each day for a month, on Digital Ocean it will run you $7.247. In the Presets panel, there are other sections showing rates for 24 hours&

Yes, comparing "cores" across providers is an extremely sketchy proposition. Obviously not all CPU cores are created equal, the motherboard and RAM configuration has an impact, etc. Worse, there are a variety of different models o

We would love to collect data like this. It would be especially interesting to measure the variability of network performance over time. (We did some measurements of I/O performance over time a while back -- http://blog.scal

Yes, that's the figure you'll get if you set the interest rate to 0 in the "Amortization period" section (and set the time period to 36 months). By default, we assume a 10% cost-of-capital, which leads to the $706/m

We'd love to see more providers included, with Azure near the top of the list. If you'd like to contribute, all we need is a static data file -- see https://github.com/scalyr/cloud-costs . Or see https:/

I think this was a side effect of the server glitch (see below) -- some of the JavaScript dependencies weren't served.

There are plenty of pricing cheat sheets out there, but we couldn't find a tool that would let us compare cloud providers while taking one-year or three-year EC2 reservations into account, or answer questions like "who has the bes
