-
For 1 core, and 512MB RAM:
Amazon EC2 $0.0065/Hour ( $0.0029/Hour - Reserved Instance/3 years/Paid All Upfront.)
DigitalOcean $0.007/Hour
Vultr $0.007/Hour (768MB RAM)Does Amazon give you features that something like digital ocean doesn't provide?
-
t2.nano at just $76 for 3 years, makes a great ScreenConnect host
-
Does anyone use Amazon Linux?

Yes, so many we could spend all day trying to list them. But few you'd care about unless you were big and none for free.

Yup, crazy numbers of people. It's one of the most popular distros for enterprise workloads. I've used it a lot.

Opps. I got a Amazon VPC not a standard linux VM. Is this a problem?

Well they are completely different things. One is a the start of a private cloud without any VMs. The other is a VM. So they overlap in no way. Having a VPC isn't bad, but it won't do anything until you add VMs to it.

@scottalanmiller So can I still use it for Screenconnect?

It's a network without VMs. There is no place to install anything. A VPC does nothing on its own. It's just a place to "collect" VMs. You still need the VMs.

So if he keeps is and all he wants is a single small VM, then he's paying for something (VPC) he doesn't need, right?

@Dashrender That's my question! Thanks!

Yeah, the VPC does nothing on its own. It's like having a VLAN but no switch yet

Called Amazon, they gave me a full refund.

See answer above

@scottalanmiller so it's basically red hat?

More or less, but very lean and without SystemD (yet).
