Here is a small comparison of the various cloud/computing resources I am using at the moment
| provider | model | arch | 64/32 | mem | disk type | disk size | cpu | bogo mips | cores | sysbench (cpu) | ip | name | cost | cost/TB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online.net | Dedibox SC gen2 | x86_64 | 64 | 2GB | SATA | 500 GB | VIA Nano U 2250 | 3192 | 1 | 116 | xxxx | xxxx | 5,99E/mo HT | 11.98E HT |
| Online.net | Dedibox SC SATA 2016 | x86_64 | 64 | 4GB | SATA | 1024 GB | Intel Atom C2350 | 3491 | 2 | 24 | xxxx | xxxx | 8,99E/mo HT | 8.99E HT |
| OVH | VPS 2016 SSD 1 | x86_64 | 64 | 2GB | SSD | 10 GB | Intel Xeon E312xx | 4788 | 1 | 12 | xxxx | xxxx | 2,99E/mo HT | N/A |
| SoYouStart (OVH) | ARM-2T | armv7l | 32 | 2GB | SATA | 2048 GB | ARM Cortex A9 (marvel) | 50 | 2 | 205 | xxxx | xxxx | 12E/mo HT | 6E HT |
Additional comment:
- I am mostly interested by SATA storage configs. I just tried the OVH VPS because it is cheap, but you can't really do much with only 10 gigs, even updating the OS ends up filling the disk...
- At some point I also tried scaleway's VPS, but they don't let you install your own kernel and their kernel at the time I tried it did not support docker, so I canceled.
- The last Dedibox SC 2016 seems a good deal, but for a very long time, they had a critical hardware issue with their fans, that would end up repeatedly freezing the system for several seconds. But now it seems to be fixed.
- OVH KimSufi has very cheap entry configs, but it seems to be mostly a scam to force you buy bigger configs, the smallest configs are never available for purchase (they claim the last one was just sold, but I gave up checking, this is a waste of time)
- The tiny ARM cpu from SyS works surprisingly well. I had to request a new kernel that works with docker. Once I found the good person (I identified their tech would had packaged the initial ubuntu kernel package to support the SATA bootstrap on ARM), the support was very efficient and provided a docker compliant kernel in just a few days. This 2 TB config is a bit expensive, I wish it was just 10E/mo. However thay have bigger disk config that seem real good for the price, for non cpu-demanding tasks.
