Not on aws at all. The hyper.sh API address is us-west-1.hyper.sh, which looks like the AWS style, however, it is not an AWS address and it is located in an independent IDC around Los Angels.

Edit: Tried it and confirmed it's indeed not on AWS, updated my previous comment. Original: Not on AWS at all doesn't seem possible The docs for Floating IPs [1] list 52.68.129.19 as an example, which is an AWS Elastic IP. The docs for the API [2] says "Hyper.sh API signature algorithm is based on AWS Signature Version 4", and then proceeds to explain the differences, which is variable names. The API Domain is us-wes…

You can try the api address us-west-1.hyper.sh

"All our servers are built on powerful Octo-Core machines" pretty much guarantees they're using some cheaper than E5 Xeons to save money, I'm wondering if it's something in the Xeon-D line. Has anyone specifically characterized what they're using? Could be Xeon D-1540s or similar, or they could also be selling 4-core hyperthreaded E3 Xeons as "8 core".

Edit: I went ahead and signed up for an account and made a container. The floating IP for the container appears to be an LA IP address. Their host appears to be ZenLayer, a Chinese hosting company that can apparently do co-location in LA, so while the IPs geolocate to China, it's possible they are indeed hosting in LA. The CPU is a E5-2630 v4. Original: I'm pretty sure they're entirely hosted on AWS. Given that they…

I don't think AWS allows you to do nested virtualization. Perhaps they have a hack?

Resolves to 65.255.36.153 and 65.255.36.154, which don't have reverse DNS, but Maxmind Geolocates to China.

For anyone looking for easy to use docker hosting, I would heartily recommend docker cloud(1st node free, then 14$/node/month), along with bare metal providers like packet.net or scaleaway. I Have a 8GB/4-core atom based bare metal server running on packet.net for only 35$. Is running 30+ moderately used containers without any trouble. Got me off heroku finally!

Do you have a relational database? If yes, how do you manage it? HA, monitoring, backups? There seems to be about a gazillion ways to get "some code running somewhere" but I'm not aware of many budget options for data persistence.

This is a concern for me. I really want the database and the app hosting in the same data centres.

Well I can't speak for all IaaS but both gcloud, digital ocean and even Rackspace can make a VM in less than 5 minutes which is how long it was taking to make docker images on a good day for us. Besides we don't always blow away a VM for all services (ie the ones that don't need a cluster of nodes). We reuse them (yes this is eschewed but we get super fast deploys). I suppose this could be said for docker as well tho…

Sure, you can create a blank, empty VM in less than five minutes... but the point of creating a Docker image is that it has everything pre-installed, ready-to-go.... you're not even remotely comparing apples-to-apples. Large images aren't an issue anyway, since the base layers will just be cached...

I said I'm comparing with what I know and experienced (and this is for a JVM shop). I'm sure we could have gotten Docker to probably to be faster especially given your passionate comments (and it appears after googling there have been improvements in docker build time).

But I just ran gcloud to create a VM with Java and copied a Jar in under a minute. I just can't figure out a way to get docker to that speed. Are you creating images and copying that fast? We must me do something massively wrong with docker.

EDIT: I found out the reason... It appears we had some issues with the Docker cache and had to disable it (I don't know the exact details why yet). Please disregard my comments on slow docker building. Apologies. I wish I could delete my comments and feel a little bad about potentially spreading incorrect information...

Based on AWS v4 does not means aws v4 is employed, on the contrary, the docs explains the signature of hyper, which uses different literatures.

At last, you can try it. Then you will found it is totally different from AWS.

There's some poor English and they list a Chinese office too. Probably not Heroku.

Native-English speaking Hyper team member here. We were founded in Beijing but have since spread to NYC. Could you point me to the poor-English in question?

Hey all, founder is here. I'd like to thank you for your votes here. Really appreciate! Also, I just want to share our public roadmap: https://trello.com/b/7fEwaPRd/roadmap . Feel free to comment. It actually helps a lot for us to prioritize. Thanks!

Philosophically, does the hyper.sh approach reflect Exokernel's vision? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel
