... And I don't have to run a Windows server for vCenter server or upgrade manager anymore.

I haven't played around with VMware much. How does it work with vCenter? Does run in a VM on each hypervisor or completely separate from the hypervisors?

It is a virtual appliance. You can upgrade and migrate from an existing Windows version. You can run it on a single server.

@scottalanmiller They are both from Scaleway. I screwed up, lol.

OH okay. that's why I was wondering about the type 🙂

Would be pretty sweet to test something like SodiumSuite on this. Probably not good for the database, but could be really neat to see how the application front end would run there.

@Kimberley-Paessler said in How do you test your website:

@DustinB3403 If you (or your customer) are using PRTG, you could use the "cloud ping" and "cloud http" sensors to monitor reachability from around the world. Those sensors will try to reach your website from 5 different AWS data centers, and will report on reachability and response time from each of those data centers. If something goes wrong, you can get an alert, so you know you need to react. The free version of PRTG will let you run 5 cloud http and 5 cloud ping sensors.

If that's not enough, check out services such as https://www.site24x7.com/, which provide similar ongoing monitoring on a larger scale.

If a one-time or manual test is enough, check out services like https://tools.pingdom.com/ or https://www.webpagetest.org/, which are free and don't require any setup on your side, but only provide a snapshot of up/down at the time you try them.

Along with pingdom, we usually use https://geopeeker.com which also gives a snapshot from multiple locations

Well, it's something to use until they vanish again, at least, lol. I'd like to see a self hosted version of something like this.
