Scaleway: "low of stock" / "out of stock"
Today I tried to launch a VM at Scaleway and saw "Temporarily out of stock" (for x86 in Paris) and "Low of stock" for others. Reminded me of well-known Online.net "Victim of its success" epitaph line on the sold-out items.
Strangely, no notes of the out of stock condition in their blog. It would be interesting to know, whether that's expected "victim of its success" event...
Scaleway matches our testing needs much better than DO, but looks like it's DO again...

Thats not the first time, that they run low, last time it took weeks to restock.
A lot of people got fucked, always keep in mind, the cloud is limited to physical things.
Its not endless.
If you just deploy for testing and destroy it after a few minutes, you may run into some issues soonTM.
Another reason to buy dedi's.
Unlikely. At DO, there's no problem to re-create the VM out of snapshot and get rid of it in a few hours, and do that again (and again)+ . Using dedicated is an overkill in such a case.
Normally, we test everything on intranet-based VMs, which can take a few seconds to re-deploy, but at times we need real-life IPs and real-life VMs from known providers.
Their Support response wasn't reassuring, either. "Yes, we are out of stock, I can't tell for how long". Fine.
Online.net in a nutshell
halloween scared all the nodes full.
It’s really not.
