Downside: not free anymore
It seems they listen to users feedback. In the back-end, it's now reported as €2 for pre-auth :P
I don't get it...
Metered or not, the cpu sucks. When I benched it I got a result of 471
For that price this product seems like a late and awful april 1 joke.
Good thing, I'm staying for a while longer... 20 EUR was an insanity.
Next thing you know, maybe the base price will get changed from 9.99 EUR.
The pricing is double what I thought it would be, and at this price is a slight rip off given they probably cost less than 50 euros each for online to make. Pity at half the price they would have been a good option for a lot of uses, but at this price they really are a poor buy with the only thing of value being the bandwidth, but even the Nano's have almost that, and they are cheaper.
This is dead in the water, as can't see many people will switch to them given the issues of using ARM and when you get more power for the same money at DO or Linode. Real shame as was looking to move a new product to using these as the web servers, but at this price will probably just put it all on a dedi for the time being.
CPU isn't that bad for a "cloud" environment; at least it's guaranteed. And the transfer's impressive. At first I wasn't even going to complain about the pricing, but then I took a second look, and holy snickerdoodles do they try to nickle and dime you as only the French can. Spin up servers for ten Euros a month, fine. Want to know your e-mail ticket will be responded to in - guaranteed! - TWELVE HOURS? That'll be another three Euros per month, please. Le sigh. Want a two-hours-or-less response, like you're used to with someplace like atlantic.net? A mere, paltry, trifling... fifty extra euros per month. And that 200MBps looks sexy... oh wait, you wanted the "better" bandwidth, with filtering and everything? That'll be two eurocents per gigabyte transferred. Inbound and outbound, as far as I can tell.
I guess the pricing is somewhat attractive if you're spinning up a dozen instances or something, but the value-added pricing just feels extreme if you only run 1-3 instances.
The "infinite storage" looks halfway decent though, unless there's a catch somewhere I'm not seeing...
It can be like s3:

The same, I just deleted the server I had while in beta and see no point creating new one, given all the details already mentioned on the thread.
On DO 2 GB RAM is 20 USD
On Scaleway 2 GB RAM is 11 USD
Not competing you said.
Wable seems like a better option...
New kernel make better score. (700+)
I make now new serverbear benchmark with 3.19.3-std #192 (latest) kernel.
"We provide 2000 IOPS (an IO is a 4K random read or write access) per 50GB chunk you buy. It means that if you buy a 150GB volume (3 chunks), you will get about 6000 IOPS (3x2000). To enjoy the performance of your volume, your application needs to use parallel IO. The total bandwidth of your volumes is limited to 120MB/s by the network link."
Erm...
You can abuse the CPU, that's the only positive thing about this product I can think.
Well, from what I can tell, they're targeting a 6 month ROI. Not bad.
Honestly, compared to offers of similar virtue (including quality), it's about half of what I'd expect it to be.
LOL, enterprise account 499€
Dedibox Kidechire was a better offer and 25% of price. I honestly expected Scaleway to be much cheaper than Kidechire concerning the fact this is ARM, so it can lure customers with those very small servers, to buy more powerful products in future by creating good impressions. In my opinion the price is way too high (but this is just my personal opinion).
Too expensive
9.99€ for 200mbit/s unmetered is not bad, great for video streaming
Too slow IO
Eww, ARM. Now I have to compile stuff too.
Lets see how the will price develop over a few months.
New serverbear
I have to agree that i am on the line for this. I think that it has a chance of being great if they also feel within the 7$ a month let idea and i wold be all over this at that price point. I think if they had better intergrations with there existing servers it would be great to scale up into there normal dedicated server line. I like there object storage. still need to benchmark it.
I really want to like this but...
I can do better. I don't want to say that. I want them to improve. But...right now...I can do better.
Jar, you got 214Mbps out of a 200Mbps connection, how much better do you want? /s
Well, if I was only planning on visitors coming from NL I suppose I couldn't really ask for more :P
Seriously though.... too many 10-20mbit results there for my $. It's cheap but, I can get better for less any day. I'd like them to make that a false statement, because I know they can.
Not a really impressive offer from them, I'm not signing up for one.
Not good:
maybe we're being trolled? they did launch this on april fools didnt they
The storage is rather attractive.
