Cheap KVMs that allow nested virtualisation

TinyTunnel_Tom

Need some KVMs for some testing

512MB+ RAM.
20GB+ Storage.
500GB BW+
1+ CPU core(preferred if I can max it).
Dedicated IPv4 + IPv6

Under $5/mo (yearly is nicer)

What do you mean by 'max it' 24x7/365?

No no. Like use 100% for 30mins or so.

For how long you need it ?

Months maybe.

I don't see why a provider would stop you doing nested stuff???

Dam sorry. I was having a little place on my KVM node (corporate one), but for only maybe 2-3 weeks.

Sorry!

Vultr?

Possible so is DO. Was looking see if more was there

Use littlehappycloud.net and get a dedicated IP?

Cant see that being an issue, lots of people using docker on it

How much is the dedi IP?

Docker works without nested virt as usual - KVM does also but is extremely slow.

My short list (because I am interested too):

• Atlantic.net (and I just canceled it... =/ )
• Runabove (Apparently they do the -host flag or almost like that)
• Digitalocean (Yep, it works and great)

Anyone else?

Vultr and LHC. That's it so far. Pretty tragic TBH.

yomero

I didn't knew about Vultr. Are you sure? I can't see "vmx" in the cpuinfos that people have posted.

And I still haven't decided to get a LHC one.

AutoSnipe

SimplerCloud will do it too (no v6 though)

TarZZ92

RunAbove certainly gives this ability along with AES

Look forward to seeing your offers!

Joke...you posted asking for cheap kvms that allow virtualization...I jested that you were probably starting a low end provider...

No no. It's not summer yet. Give me a few weeks /end sarcasm

Because people run pirated Windows XP in QEMU on OpenVZ, swap like crazy and eat a CPU core.

Verelox

We can do this for you starting from 2.99 EUR/mo for the following specs on our special node, you may also max the CPU core:

RAM: 512MB
Processor: 1 Core, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz
Storage: 15GB RAID-1
Bandwidth: 1TB/mo, Anti-DDoS enabled

IPv4: 1, located in France
IPv6: 1, beta

Price: 2.99 EUR/mo
Order: https://verelox.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=140

or

RAM: 768MB
Processor: 1 Core, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz
Storage: 20GB RAID-1
Bandwidth: 1TB/mo, Anti-DDoS enabled

IPv4: 1, located in France
IPv6: 1, beta

Price: 3.99 EUR/mo
Order: https://verelox.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=141

Just open a support ticket after ordering or indicate that you require nested virtualization in the order notes and your server would be migrated. You may choose any plan from https://verelox.com/vps.php and request to migrate it as well.

Here are the flags:

fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc up arch_perfmon unfair_spinlock pni pclmulqdq vmx ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm xsaveopt fsgsbase smep

As well as a quick benchmark:

CPU model :  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz
Number of cores : 1
CPU frequency :  3192.744 MHz
Total amount of ram : 996 MB
Total amount of swap : 766 MB
System uptime :   14 min,
Download speed from CacheFly: 24.5MB/s
I/O speed :  153 MB/s

Edit: Wait, wrong thread. Ignore this.

EDIT: Did not see that you were wanting to do nested KVM in KVM.
EDIT2: For openVZ in KVM I have had no issues doing so at the following providers:
MyCustomHosting, Nexmark, Vultr, UltraVPS, HostMyBytes, Crown Cloud, Hostigation, DrServer(XEN-HVM), DO, Ikoula Cloud, OneProvider Cloud.
OpenVZ did not work for me on the Onlinenet Cloud with the ARM processor.

Nested OVZ in KVM

??
You can do OVZ in any KVM, having vmx or not.

I even do it on Linode with xen pv

OP states that you need 'some' cheap KVM's to create nested environments. How many are you thinking you might need? Do you have a geographic location in mind? How many IP's (4 & 6)?

I'm happy to work with you to spin up an environment - might have to make a few compromises to meet your price (i.e. instead of booting of local RAID volumes, I can give you slower network connected storage that might be just fine). Just a few more facts. Don't want to offer something that can't/won't work for both of us.

Just a couple. Geographically diverse is better for what I require. I could be ordering ~5-15 depending on the price and quality of service.

With IPs 1 or 2 would be fine per KVM. Network storage is fine I/O is not require for what I am using. If you wish you can add me on skype (tinytunnel)

Microlinux

I use Vultr for this, they've never complained.
