local ssds on scaleway hype.
Well, 5800 bench, 16 threads, amazing slow performance for 1.99
Can you do a unixbench?
Geekbench please. Thanks in Advance.
Half an hour, this is tedious.
edit: Server is deployed, can't SSH in, even the built-in console times out.
I'll test it tomorrow, something major is screwed.

Single-core performance sucks, but multi-core is near an E3-1270 v1,
getting an similar performance to an E3 + 8GB RAM + 200GB NVME and 400mbit 'unlimited' for €15.99, is not a bad deal IMO
Bigger news here is that they raised the price of the 2Core/2GB/50GB/200Mbit VPS from 2.99 to 3.99 EUR. But now adding a half-sized variant of it, at 1.99.
And for whatever reason, the 1.99 box has only Ubuntu Xenial as the OS option, nothing else, not even any version of Debian.

Scam
There deployment or management system itself is screwed up. It sometimes doesn't deploys VMs, sometimes unable to destroy it and other options as well.
Not some DO kinda level.
Could you confirm the upload speed? Or is the speedtest-cli just acting up?

We introduce a 1.99 DROPLET, which is limited in stock, NL is already out of stock, the only OS you can install on its Ubuntu, AH yea the Image Hub is not available.
Also, we increase the price of the 2GB from 2.99 to 3.99, screw you!
So Scaleway did a Vultr, neat.
Yeah that's why I can never really get excited for Scaleway. They keep putting out new servers and shit but their backend is all sorts of fucked up.
And still no usable IPv6.
Oh and they got the price wrong, too (1.99 vs 2.49...)
No:

Click on the Distribution you want, the disk space is wrong on your image.
mmm i tested more than one times... seem legit, upload speed sucks...
Oh, that was wrong then.
Anyway, apparently my critical commend was deleted, neat.
If you click the Ubuntu Xenial thing it changes to 1.99 (Jackie Chan mindboggle picture).
Local or remote storage?
I want Debian9, thx. Where do I click?
Apparently, they use a technology called input validation, if done correct, its powerful, so no chance.
Noooooooooo-
super fast disk on slow cpu.
they make the worst combination.
Give the guys over at Scaleway a fucking break.
They Just launched this, everything that just launched has issues that needs to be fixed. now They have tens of thousands of customers testing their stuff, you only find out about realtime issues when your product is actually deployed.
Give it an week and it will be good.
when the last time scaleway doing good?
their network not stable most of time. From few KB to hundred KB max for many time on random times.
Wasted too many time (traceroute, smokeping, and other debugging tools) there,
I ended my relationship with them last month.
I got a VC1S-server there for testing and according to the mail:
Maybe I'm missing it, but anyone know for how long the price will be the same?
Yeah. No testing, no staging, no beta, just put everything swiftly in prod as soon as you get a new idea to implement (hire some trainee to do the job, that will do). And you can always count on customers to pay for experimenting broken stuff and flawed features that last for years.
Nice business model.
