ArubaCloud Review (Italy VPS)
Hello, this is a review for @ArubaCloud and for start, the vps is really good. they have OpenStack (AMD) or VMware (Intel) and for storage they do use NVMe
What i like:
1. 10Gbps port speeds
2. Good Support
3. Hourly-based
What i don't like:
1. the panel looks old like it's useable but eh
2. needs separate accounts for the panel and cloud control panel
3. in the Cloud Control Panel, i sometimes see a 500 error
4. When you enter the "Console" you see a "Recovery Console" but that page doesn't seem to work since you have to press a link to make SPICE work on another page (2-3 steps) but after that the vnc works fine
5. Government/State ID Number/Code thing for signups (Not sure why but eh)
although their website looks like it came from 2010s and founded in
1994. They have servers in Italy (3 IDC) and Czech Republic, France, Germany, UK and at last Poland!!

I have been running https://github.com/telekom-security/tpotce and it was interesting to see bots everywhere trying to hijack into my server but i noticed there was 1 attacker using Hetzner vps in Germany trying to connect to a fake squid port. This was a sandbox vps. I also want to thank them for giving me 25 Euros of credits to test their servers.
Specs:
CPU: AMD EPYC Milan (Zen 3), 4 vCores @ ~2 GHz
16GB ram
120GB NVMe disk
Debian 13 OS
10Gbps Download but for uploads it's around 400-600Mbps give or take (port is 10Gbps)
The plan is PRO O4A16R and monthly it's 43.80 Euro/mo but for hourly it's 0.0600 Euro/hour
Overall il say. 8/10 (It's good enough, would use again someday)
Thanked by 1oloke
