Clouds with no shutdown cost

Hi,

Apart from amazon ec2 - are there any other cloud solutions where shutdown virtual machines are not charged ?

Thank You

    Azure (yes, they do Linux). Probably google compute.

    Keep in mind that you will still be billed for some resources:

    • disk, unless you release it
    • IP address, unless you release it in which case you'll get a different one when you reboot. For Azure this isn't as problematic as you always get a ${vmname}.cloudapp.net DNS CNAME
  • @raindog308 : Apart from these biggies - any other cheap place. Need to run a hadoop cluster.

    Iwstack

    Lunanode

  • @Geekoine : Lunanode definitely charges for shutdown VM.
    IWStack seems to support it though

    I apologize, perhaps I got confused about Lunanode. I'm sure about Iwstack: stopped VMs are not charged, apart from storage and IP.

  • @Geekoine : IWStack is a great suggestion you know.

  • Iwstack is amazing:-) I love Prometeus

    If you are going to run Hadoop then make sure your storage is completely diverse otherwise all your instances are going to be thrashing the same storage.
