I've noticed that performance has been reduced greatly lately on their offering. Has anyone else noticed this? Also had a few machines randomly reboot.
/edit Just now I'm unable to join using the console access on a few of my droplets. I'm on a pretty fast internet connection (60MBps).
DO's offering is certainly refreshing but why does a single provider get that many upvotes on basically any customary amendment? They are nothing more than what Mediatemple is/was to the designer fraction.
This is actually somewhat big news because, considering the relative popularity of Digital Ocean, this alleviates 2 blocker pain points for european customers:
* The AMS1 region used to be out of available droplets quite frequently, and in recent weeks it was entirely unavailable to book new ones (at least for me)- which is bad news for scaling existing installs.
* The AMS1 region did not have private networking
The fixing of these two points with the new region makes it much more reasonable to deploy multi-node environments to this region.
There seems to be a heavy rush on the region at the moment, creating a 1gb box took 17 minutes, now I'm waiting for 5 minutes for a power-off to enable private networking... `sudo shutdown` worked, but the admin job queue seems to not check on that. I'll try again tomorrow :)
I'm still waiting on an official response to this[1] before I'd even consider it. I went so far as to email the CEO (after receiving marketing mail from his address) and got no response.
