    @srch07 said: I upgraded to paid account to get port 25 open

    I have port 25 open (both in + out) and did not upgrade to the paid account.

    Now they don't allow to open port 25 without going Paid.

    And the fun part, it took them 10 days after going paid to open a damn port lol.

    They are horrible at support.

  • What is the current status of A1 Ampere stocks in APAC?
    Wanted to roll A1 instance in Mumbai and SG, both show out of stock (on 2 different accounts for friends)

    You should look for api script to poll and start A1 instance with your account keys.

    They keep on adding resources and they go out of stock.

    I had to do that for Frankfurt region. Poll every 5 min and create instance took me 5 days to create A1

    Hmmm.

    My Ampere A1 instance in Frankfurt got 4Gbps public bandwidth... ? That wasn't the case before, it was always 1Gbps. What are your results guys?

    I also confirm. Instances in DC other than Frankfurt also have 4Gbps.

  • My Singapore one is still on 1Gbps. Looks like expensive traffic regions didn't get the upgrade.

    My friend has Ampere A1 in Amsterdam and he has 1Gbps there on 4vcpu... Hmm... I had 1Gbps on FRA too like month ago

  • I know it might have been discussed before, just TLDR;
    can someone please reconfirm if I can club 2CPU/2GB RAM/80GB Storage in one AMD VM, would that be allowed as FREE Tier or do I strictly need to use 1C/1GB/45GB config only?

    You cant combine specs. Two 1C/1GB max, but you can have up to 200GB on free tier if you have one vps, 100GB if you want 2x (200GB total storage limit per account)

    Ok... yeah I thought so... thanks for clarifying

    There's also a 50GB boot minimum and I think blocks are done in 50GB, so no 80GB servers.

    47GB minimum and you can set whatever GB you like. I have 56GB on one server

    One of my AMD instances just stop responding few days ago and didn't respond to restart command.

    Created a new one with the same behavior.

    This instance os running umami.

    Anyone with this problem?

    Can just use their console option to connect to the VM and see what's up. ;)

    From my Ampere Server in Frankfurt
    Made a VM with all 4 ARM Cores + 16GB RAM + 102GB Drive

    Any idea why FIO results are so low? or is it benchmark script's bug?

    I believe those are the disk speeds you get with the lowest performance tier on your boot volume.

    You can increase the tier to UHP for free (performance scales with disk size as well).

    You should look for api script to poll and start A1 instance with your account keys.

    do you have any?

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    The dude said that it's also possible to create an instance from an existing boot volume which means that you can kill the instance that won't boot and create another with the same boot volume in case you don't want to lose yer data or start from scratch.

    Can you send a screenshot of how you'd do it from the Web Console?

    Thanks... I figured it out as given on
    https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Block/Tasks/rescanningdisk.htm

    so you mean it is FREE even if upto maximum '120' is selected?

    Secondly,
    after running
    sudo dd iflag=direct if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null count=1

        echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/class/block/sda/device/rescan
    

    Do I need to REBOOT once or this should be affected right away?
    Any more steps to complete ?

    EDIT:

    I had to STOP the instance, DETACH and REATTACH the boot volume to get the improved speeds

    If you only change the performance tier I don't think you have to go through these steps (at least I did not).

  • @CyberneticTitan so you mean you just move the UHP slider to max 120 and the performance increased?

    In my experience I found that to be true.
