    - If you want file storage, NFS is good. Make sure to only use NFSv4 since it reduces the amount of server processes you need to run, and supports file locking. If you're using Debian then I updated the NFS server wiki a while back to document how to disable NFS v2 and v3: https://wiki.debian.org/NFSServerSetup#NFSv4_only.
    - If you want block storage, then NBD (Network Block Device) is good. iSCSI is good and has wider support, but the protocol is very complex - it's literally regular SCSI over the network. It's slower than NBD which is very basic - a good developer could write a basic clone of NBD in a weekend.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain the best options!

    My word choice on elegant/inelegant was maybe the wrong one. What I was hoping for was that there would be some way to virtually mount the disk of the storage node on the compute node through the HostHatch panel (somehow, in my head, when @hosthatch mentioned mounting it, I thought it was a service they provided, but mounting can of course mean nfs4 mounting too).

    Looking forward to the provisioning of my new servers to see if I remember how I mounted on the other servers I have. ;)

    All cores have similar amount of CPU steal (3rd column from the end), so it doesn't have dedicated cores. But I noticed the offer had different wording, cpu% dedicated vs cores dedicated.

    @hosthatch Could you clarify? I'd purchase it immediately if the current offer actually has dedicated cores. Getting no steal is very important for latency-sensitive workloads

    Best effort dedicated, sometimes, but not dedicated to you... dedicated with steal :D I guess the old saying if it's too good... There is a legit reason why established companies like Linode, DigitalOcean or Vultr would be charging $120/month + for such instance on their dedicated core vps ranges..

    Only the Christmas Promo & the storage special have a 4 limit from the listings -- and if you got 12 Christmas specials then you might end up with a LOT of credit :D.

    There should never be any abnormal steal on any of HostHatch Compute NVMe VM service, promotional or not. By abnormal, I mean ~3% or more.

    If you see < 3% steal, we will not go out of our way to fix that. If your application is that sensitive and needs to be making millions, then you should be considering AWS, and not a VPS provider.

    Is there spare parts/capacity in each DC? As in, if a hypervisor/switch/whatever breaks down, how long time until a reprovision can be expected?

    Everything is redundant from the get-go: switches, PDUs, PSUs, and so on. They are all in redundant A+B configurations.

    We try to keep N+1 node on each site for NVMe nodes, so we can move over the drives and bring everyone back online, in case of a complete node failure. However we do not yet do the same for storage VMs (and we do not recommend for those to be used for anything uptime critical, since fixing large HDD related issues can take hours/days).

    @hosthatch said: In LA, New York and Chicago, you also get a 20GB SSD OS disk with Storage VMs.

    Does this mean for all storage VMs, or just the storage VMs in this sale?

    @vpn2024 said: But I noticed the offer had different wording, cpu% dedicated vs cores dedicated.

    CPU% dedicated makes more sense, since they're not actually dedicated cores. Dedicated cores would imply usage of CPU pinning / processor affinity to actually dedicate particular cores to VMs (i.e. no other VM can ever use them), which they're not using.

    As far as I know (@hosthatch please correct me if I'm wrong) they're counting threads, not cores. An example of a CPU they use is the AMD EPYC 7513, which has 32 cores / 64 threads. A VM with "1 dedicated core" or "100% dedicated CPU" can use 1/64 of the CPU's power constantly, and the other non-dedicated cores (actually threads) are for burst usage only.
