You quoted me below, testing exploits that lock up a machine. But that was just the first thing that came to mind. Having labour costs or resource exhaustion (imaging server queue backed up for hours) impacts other users if one customer is a drain on support and resources.
Using bare metal for that is silly and inefficient. You'd only need bare metal for hardware and driver reasons, and then you'd do that locally.
Running nested virtualization means the server would be online 24/7 and not need rebooting, just the guest VM's.
When the OP said he couldn't get them to raise the limit even begging or paying, means he couldn't justify the need or have a typical use case for them to go, "oh, we didn't think of that". From port 25 to email limits, lots of services have soft caps to prevent and detect abuse and make exceptions when customer explains the use case.
Proxmox heavily rely on "soft reboots", and there is only 50% success rate on some special dedication server boards ( the other 50% wont bring NIC up )
$15/reboot is a solid plan so long as you can craft up a machine that locks up all the time. What a freakin deal!
The Final Destination would be charging per click.
The faster you make it to the reboot button, the less you pay, so you better bookmark that bitch.
Sadly this is not a Joke, some companies did it.
Then you've got a broken, unsupported setup.
Dafuq?
Yes, the argued IT systems cost money, expensive bla bla.
A few Banks did pull that one off.
no, ikoula machine sometimes were wrongly setup
their equip overclock cpu model on the board,
sometimes softreboot works
and sometimes after softreboot,the machine stuck
there is no 100% success rate even the os are well setup
this did happen.
but ikoula never admit it they have wrong cpu model setup on the board causing the machine failed work after a reboot
For normal use, 15 boots per month is just fine but sometimes when you are trying something non-standard, 15 boots might not be enough. Certainly there must be some users doing too many reinstall / boots and they don't want that.
Such action comes only when few are over-exploiting the privileges and resources.
