Anyone here use it? I just fired up a couple of VM's to play with. Seems neat

What are the results from Vultr $5, though?
-
@scottalanmiller That's like comparing Vultr to Amazon EC2 - there two different platforms.

I don't follow. They are both IaaS, you directly compare them.
-
GCP, EC2, Vultr, DO, Rackspace.... you use tools like ServerBear to compare them head to head. They all do the same basic thing.

A tool you can leverage is OCH (OneCloud Hypervisor) from HTBase, which allows you to actually:
- Virtualize cloud servers: So instead of creating multiple servers in Google Cloud or AWS, you can create one large one and create virtual machines in it. Just by doing this, you save around 45% in costs
- Live migration: OCH allows you to move VMs between private and cloud environments as well as between cloud environments live, so it takes you out of that "which provider should I use?" question. If you think GCE is better, have your VMs run there, or if tomorrow AWS is cheaper, get them moved to AWS
