@scottalanmiller Right, but how many people can use that limited of resources? I am guessing lots of upgrades.
A lot, actually. 512MB is enough to run a fully functional PBX, Jump Box or web server. It's amazing how often you could use that.
Ya a few of my production servers are only 512MB.
Same here, our main jump server, for example.

Our whole identity management system runs on 1GB. that covers up to 20,000 users

Nice. We have one legacy PBX that is still on 256MB, lol. It's really old and just waits for the customer in question to agree to a free upgrade. But it works fine that way, so they never bother!

For the record, it only needs 180MB normally.

Eh I lied. 2GB for the new Identity Management covers 10,000 users. I was thinking of the old one, and that may have only been 1/10,000. Still not too bad.

Maybe it just needed some tweaking. Which Linux distro is that on, Fedora?

This awoke me from my medicated slumber. Pretty cool!

For those wondering like @BRRABill the storage instances are MORE available now than two weeks ago and here are the prices:
-
I feel like, at this point, Vultr and Linode are the last men standing. Who else is "in the game" now?

So you think DO is out? I expect them to match the pricing within the next month.....

Seems like they would have to.

RHEL 7, those are the recommended min requirements.

I believe that @BRRABill actually contact them last week and was told that they were phasing the storage instances out. Someone needs to contact again and verify.

I did. I followed up and was told that that was not true and that the channel that he used for support did not exist and they wanted names and links of how he was told that because he was told via chat and officially they have no chat support.
Since then, they've added two more sites for options that were sold out when he had asked.

Good to hear. Now I want backups on those, which is not available.

@BRRABill and I had long discussions about why those aren't available. If you extrapolate the backup costs from their non-storage devices, the cost of backing up these VMs would easily be greater than the cost of the VMs themselves. I think that they rightfully guessed that no one would pay for that. If you want a backup of them, buy another Vultr storage VM and backup to that. Or backup to S3/B2 or something.
It would be awesome if they integrated a backup service, I agree. But it would have to be a special offering for those and I think that it makes sense that it's not offered - seems like a wise business move.
