C2: Insanely Affordable x86-64 Servers

@johnhooks should be super easy to write a script to stop containers, tar them and start them again.

You can run different distros. But I think you need to match systemd and init between host and container though.
How would check that? I am a huge CentOS7 fan
I know Ubuntu 15.10 is systemd, CentOS 7 is also systemd. So if you run a CentOS 7 host you can run Ubuntu 15.10 containers (what I'm doing for my XO container).

ya. I use Ansible, but you can script it also.

I will be using Ubuntu as the host. CentOS7 as the guest

You could always start with CentOS 7 for containers rather than building them on Ubuntu.

@scottalanmiller Scaleway only offers Ubuntu
-
Would you use Scaleway?
For a 2G VM on Vultr I can get 32GB on Scaleway.....

I would start out with their starter server for $2.99 a month and see how the interface and reliability is before you commit to a big project.

Dont really have experience with them. So I can't say one way or the other. For month to month pricing, no reason not to try them out.
-
If these are physical boxes, the month-to-month pricing is similar to what I'm paying at another provider for bare metal, but I get 1TB of HDD as opposed to SSD.

This was insanley affordale - I used to run cc2.8xlarge aws instances for hours and it cost me fractions of a penny.
RAM, ECU, Cores, Storage, Bandwith 60.5, 88, 32, 3360GB, 10Gbit/s
-
I've been using Scaleway since they announced the C1 beta platform. I recently tested the new offerings and they all run on Avoton processors - the Atom C2750, to be exact. Disk speed was a bit underwhelming, but I think they use "shared" disks.
Another company that I would recommend for @aaronstuder is impactvps.com, they are running a 50% off sale on their "resource pools". Check out today's post on lowendbox: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/78146/impact-vps-1-year-anniversery-special-50-off-now-with-3-locations-in-a-single-package#latest
You could build 20 VM's with 512mb ram each for $30/month; that's $1.50 per VM

@papercape Thanks!

@papercape It says nested virtualization is not allowed. Would containers be considered nested virtualization?

Oh, on the VPS? Technically no, not by the book. But they might choose to claim that that is what it means.
-
Totally would be nested, I overlooked that detail
Nested in that you'd have a container inside a container. I may be misunderstanding though.

Not technically. It's not actual virtualization. So neither virtual nor nested.
