Just logged in and there is more options now

Hey, openSuse, very nice. And FreeBSD. Ubuntu is still outdated, by a lot. Debian outdated too. No Fedora, though. Still rather anemic. Is it still double the cost of the competition?

@scottalanmiller Double the cost of Vultr... on par with the others.

Vultr and Linode are roughly the same. Double what we've been paying is... a lot.

Pricing is now on par with Vultr/DO current pricing.

@JaredBusch I wonder how performance compares.
Price is on par now, but historically the price drops lag behind. Since it is a subscription model, the historic price modelling makes it more expensive. If we are deploying a workload only momentarily, we assume that the prices are on par. But from past performance, the expectation is that any long running workload will cost more over time.

Yeah, I kind of want to test it out, but I don't have any accounts on AWS or anything to make me want to add one just for testing Lightsail.

I"ve used it when it was new. It's fine. Very much a Vultr / DO clone. But trailing in tech and pricing by 6-18 months, so falls into the "who cares" category for me. It's not "as good" as the three key players (Vultr, DO, and Linode) so I never have a time to actually consider using it.

Perfomance is good, I have customers on it and works well but it is based on Bitnami for a lot of apps like Wordpress.

FFS. It is a VPS. Not an app system. Yes, there could be some apps preset to spin up just like DO and Vultr do.

So the whole thing is not based on Bitnami......

Correct, I said it wrong and for that I apologize. What I really was trying to say was that Bitnami is what they use for running Wordpress if you use their template for WordPress and other applications (But yeah it is not an OS). As below
