Building a cloud from the ground up is no small task, even more so when you build it on your own hardware, and your own virtualization technology.

Any idea who these people are / this company is? Seems to have come out of virtually nowhere.

This is really intriguing and seems like a strong fit for my use-cases. What are your plans to expand to other datacenters?

Personally, I'd like to see: NYC, Chicago, Germany, Middle East, and Australia

Looks an awful lot like Heroku.

Hey, founder kicks in.

Yes, NYC and Europe are our next step. Probably Frankfurt or Amsterdam.

Really like the look of this, feels VERY Digital Ocean-esque from the UI (which is awesome). As a big fan of DO I'm looking forward to playing with it!

Edit:

One interesting thing I've noticed is that I was charged a dollar for an IP address that I released after 1 minute and 11 seconds. I'd have assumed that it would have been by the second as well. However:

fip 209.177.88.125 - 2016/11/07 16:27:08 2016/11/07 16:28:19 0.0197 $1.0000

From pricing: "Billing begins when a new Floating IP is allocated, ends when it is released. Partial month is treated as a entire month."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The bigger sizes? Yes, but the small ones work pretty sweet. And the per-second billing!

Yeah, per second billing is nice. I can see this working where you want to change/test lots of containers briefly.

Hi, there are plugins for Buildbot and Jenkins github.com/jenkinsci/hyper-slaves-plugin, which are more like a "Serverless" CI/CD solution.

PS: I'm the founder :)

I wonder is this is better for spinning up low traffic static sites than DO.

Why "low traffic sites"?

A few questions...

1. If I wanted to launch my own docker service on top of this, would that be ok?

2. Any timeline on the Franfurk/Amsterdam data centers?

3. Policy on DMCA for European data centers?

4. Thoughts on more storage? (pricing on volume storage - ~100 TB+ or so)

With DO you need to manage the host system, actually installing Docker. Patch Docker, patch the host.

Hyper handles that responsibility, allowing you to free up more time for app dev. "Our platform removes the need for you to manage a VM cluster or any container orchestration engine, so you can focus solely on your containers and get back to coding!"
