Hetzner? Online.net/Scaleway?



As a data point, Scaleway's responsiveness to things doesn't seem all that great.

Saying that as a new-ish (only a few months) user to them.

For example, their CentOS 7 ARM7 images come with a bug that stops yum from updating correctly.

This is a simple PR to fix the problem, yet hasn't even been looked at in the month since it was created:

https://github.com/scaleway/image-centos/pull/26

That aside though, the hardware/software/capabilities seem pretty decent. And (for me) the fix is automatically applied when servers are spun up so their sluggish response doesn't negatively affect me.


I've used scaleway for a while for small projects. And lately, every single instance size shows out of stock. I shut down and instance and couldn't start it back up due to their being no available instances. Not exactly confidence inspiring.


They seem to be out of instances/space in their Amsterdam data centre whenever I've looked over the last few weeks.

Their Paris data centre though generally seems to have a few instances spare of things. Not sure if you checked both locations? :)


I love Scaleway's offerings but their lack of diversity in DC locations leaves a lot to be desired.
