Excellent news. Always liked Linode. They are growing a lot lately, not that they have been small in the last 10 years but still.
I wish they would come to South Korea
they were running this campaign ads on facebook from last months good moves more and more companies are coming to india,asia region
so they follow DO?
lately the become follower of DO, nothing new or improvement lately except GPU offering
DO followed them.
What can you innovate that was not offered by amazon, google and microsoft. Nothing. If you want innovations go with them. Linode provides reasonably priced services for average joe. And it does it good. That's it.
Now that's how you use that war chest. All the best to Linode.
Provide an alternative to aws' bandwidth price gouging, for small businesses
I had large enough vps with linode (200+) and didnt complaint.
what I mean, why India? after DO opened their DC there
Because it's got 1.4 billion people and is not as fucked in the head Internet-wise as China.
Because we love our streaming media as much as the next guy! (Or girl). Specifically p0rn. @ 500 million people under the age of 25. You can estimate the opportunity.
Because DO opened a DC there.
It's like a Burger King opening near where a McDonalds just opened.
DO's DC is roughly 850km away.
Mumbai is a more natural spot for DC (internet exchanges)
I got a peek inside a BETA vm in Mumbai. (1GB nanode plan. 1vcpu)
Very impressed.
Some quick benches and numbers before I put it into prod.
EPYC!
cat /proc/cpuinfo
dd dumb write test
openssl speed -evp aes128
iperf3 compile test (around 50% faster than my usual E5 ssd vps from LET)
Network:
Download to my Kerala CableISP (asianet)
PING = 32ms from mumbai
./iperf3 -c 172.xx.xx.xx -p 52xx -P4 -R (download test from my Leaseweb singapore KVM)
4 threads nearly maxed out the available 1Gbps. ping = 67ms
AMD EPYC in action. Nice.
32ms is bad imo. Do you have a test IP?
ah, another DC within Asia by Linode, and that's interesting
Absolutely not. It is quite good for my location to mumbai. (best I've seen is 23ms- Steam servers)
From testing now, routes to mumbai have changed a bit and now I see 75ms ping to Linode mumbai IP and flipkart.com .
(I'll keep monitoring. Else, it makes sense to stick with SGP and its steady 60ms ping)
speedtest.mum1.linode.com
Good ping from Chennai (ACT Fibernet)
My isp sucks clearly. Nice to see low pings.
Gamers should be excited.
From Bangalore it is good.
ISP ACT
Glad my fellow Indian have another option for VPS provider. I guess for Indonesian we just have @dediserve
not good from Sri Lanka
ISP : Lanka Bell 4G
from my local ISP (in Mumbai)
tears of joy
