Also new are “flexible droplets” that make it easy to switch between difference configurations to see what difference it makes to have more RAM, or more CPUs:
If you’ve got a 1GB droplet, you’ll likely want to shutdown, switch to the new 2GB droplet, and re-run discourse-setup to take advantage of the additional memory.
Downgrading from the old 1GB $10/month droplet to the new $5 one is more complicated because there’s less disk space, so you can’t just change. To do that, a safe path would be to create the new droplet, copy your old app.yml, rebuild, backup and restore your site to the new one and point to the new site.
And I’m wondering how different is 1 Core vs 2 Core, while both have 1G RAM?
And Linode is a great idea with the same price while Linode have the location of Japan, Singapore which are great for Asian users; UK,DE for European users, and US for American Users.
While digitalocean only have droplets located in US._Sorry, I get this info from another post, I should check again Well Digitalocean also have multiple locations.
For me the most important feature to come is true private networking. This means for example that if you are running the database in a separate vm the communication goes through a isolated network. Right now in DigitalOcean the internal networking is shared.
No Doubt, I am very happy with this step. DigitalOcean has taken a great step by providing their services in cheaper rates. DO has one of the most affordable infrastructures with good quality of service. It is beneficial for both developers and startups because they can now get a production server in just $5, Even if they don’t know how to manage the servers, They can head to Cloudways, As they have also reduced the pricing on DigitalOcean server.
Exploring the $15 options for a moderately small community (up to 5k people, 500 new messages per day, 500k visits per month), the 2 vCPUs with 2GB RAM option looks better than the others two taking into account the specifics of the Discourse application?
I.e., a) 1GB is too little of memory; b) 3GB RAM vs 2GB RAM won’t make too much of a difference; you’ll have a ~2GB swap; and c) 2 vCPUs is definitely better than 1 vCPUs taking into account multitasking built into Discourse.
We already knew the lower prices were here, but nice to see it broken out in this way, and you do get a choice at $15/month of 1 more CPUs, or 50% more RAM.
Hmm. THeir 1GB-$5/month offering isn’t that different from Digital Ocean’s, albeit serverz.pro offers 4 cores. The $15/month plan does look appealing, though, especially for those in Europe.
저렴하다는 것은 상대적인 문제입니다. 사실상 최소 드롭렛 비용은 최소 18달러이지만, 24달러가 더 현실적인 선택지입니다. 더 이상 연간 72달러 수준이 아니라, 연간 216~288달러 수준입니다. 그리고 S3나 유사한 서비스 비용이 그 위에 추가되어, 쉽게 연간 100달러를 넘게 됩니다.
그런데 가난한 관리자가 AI를 사용하려고 한다면 어떻게 될까요? 금방 월 100달러 수준, 즉 연간 1,200달러에 이르게 됩니다.
지금 우리는 월 5~6달러 수준에서 정말로 멀어졌습니다.
그러나 핵심은 이 주제에서… 아마도 5년 전쯤에 말했던 것과 반대로, 가격이 점점 저렴해지지 않고 오히려 오르고 있다는 점입니다.
