    Looks like you need to add a CC to avail the offer, otherwise a 1 week trial is offered on request.

  • wychwych Member

    Strange, I can't find anything regarding the bandwidth limits.

    but it said on the register page:

    **** No credit card is required for Dev and Team edition trials registered in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and India.

    how do you find your server login especially the password?

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    @breton nice one, nice to see you around here again!

    Well ...
    The tiny flavor has so little disk space, 1GB...
    The small is better, but 2GB of RAM. Nothing between them?
    1GB RAM, 10GB disk would be nicer

    it seems you can add the object storage and assign to instance :p

    You need a keypair to login for the first time.

    Oh, I didin't know. I'm going to play a bit with this.
    I need to remind myself that I may not use this in production xD

    yes i tried that but it never let me login. I created the key pair from the panel and downloaded it. I then used putty and import the keypair.pem but it says unable to use key.

    I logged in using Windows, but I use OpenSSH for Windows and I generate my ssh keys and send to panel. I didnt try use the key generated by server.

    you should configure the firewall in the openstack panel, the default is deny all inbound connection :p

    Looks very similar to runabove. Did anyone figure out the bandwidth limits?

    Edit: It looks like they ran out of IPs as well.

    So far as I know, OpenStack doesn't show bandwidth usage so I assume they won't be monitoring it. Maybe open a suport ticket.

    I got an IP :)

    Bandwidth tracking is possible (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/Metering/Bandwidth), but not out of the box in the webinterface.

    The volumes are not working for me, they're corrupted :/
    Nvm was using fdisk instead of cfdisk.

    Not really. Different business model and this company has a decent background. https://www.mirantis.com/company/customer-successes/ https://www.mirantis.com/careers/
