They offer free service in the event of an outage.
But if you are having outages, I'm likely to want ot move my services anyway So that is a a waste.

@Curtis as for the rest of their services, this seems pretty on par with others.

Plain KVM is so mature and everywhere I am starting to think we should all huddle up and create our own VPS service. I think between all ML we have around 500 VMs or so

So like.... 1-2 servers

It would be interesting to know the vCPU to core count ratio on these cloud providers. I'm guessing 10-15 vCPUs on each real core.
So a 16 core server can have 160-240 VMs.
So 1-2 servers sounds about right

And you can often get way, way bigger core counts. Easy to get at least 64 cores on a single server.

Yes, a server with dual AMD Epyc 7551 for instance has 32 cores per CPU so 64 real cores total.

1 server with just under 200 GB RAM if all 500 VMs are Linux

yeah, and that's just two CPUs, you could do more, in theory. And that's just AMD architecture. If we could do RISC systems, we could get even bigger!

It's true. For the kinds of workloads used around here, that might actually work.

And if you did LXC instead of KVM, it reduces RAM needs significantly. Because the kernel RAM is shared rather than repeated.

I'm learning a lot about LXD , and preparing video screen guide for ML

Awesome! It's GREAT technology. If you can fit within its limitations, pretty much nothing is going to work as well for you.
