Wow. That's fantastic.
I'm so excited. No question that they are by FAR the hardest to use, but who cares. That performance is crazy!!
Rewarded complexity is fine by me
-
Throughout the range, Linode comes in either as cheap or cheaper than everyone else, too. It pretty much tracks Vultr until it outscales them. Then it matches or beats DO.
-
Of additional consideration... Vultr and RS cap out pretty small. DO and Linode make massive single nodes, which is important when we are running epic databases, which we are doing. The growth rate on the database is quite healthy.

That's just painful, but have to expect that to happen now and then. Guess I'll start an overnight ping test, see how bad it still is.
Edit: Never mind, don't have the IP address for the Linode.

Here is the blog response to that...

It's already offline but I will get you a new one privately in a few minutes.

Will Mangolassi be moving to Linode?

Nope Mongolassi doesn't exist!

Yes, going to make an attempt of it.

Wow - this sounds nearly the same as the GRC DDOS attack, only on a HUGE scale.

Yeah, the scale here is crazy.

80 GB attack - damn!

@scottalanmiller I got busy and never got back to this.
I just cancelled the pings. here are the results.

@aaronstuder that would be the Atom processor. Per thread performance is low. You get a lot of memory with that but not much CPU. Great for a lab. Much slower thread performance on physical than the VMs we are testing.

Linode is 5001.3 bogomips x 2 = 10,002.6
Scaleway is 4787.8 bogomips x 8 = 38,302.4
The C2750 is 85% more energy efficient than the Intel Xeon E5-2680 CPU.
In a data center with thousands of servers, that adds up quickly

have you looked at something like packet.net

You are comparing two cores to a full eight on a dedicated CPU. That the Linode is greater than 1/4 the bogomips when virtualized shows the difference.
And while yes, energy efficiency is important, so is largest scalable size and thread performance. Atoms are decent for certain workloads, but you need more of them to do it. But workloads for which Atoms are good, ARMs are better. So Atom often falls into a weird middle ground of "mostly only well suited for something that they are not ideal for."
