They seem pretty good at writing back to people. Have you contacted them? It's normal for new accounts to get suspended pending KYC checks. But they also do the checks pretty fast.

#43Did a quick comparison between intel 2 vCPU and Arm 2 vCPU, these are shared CPUs though so YMMV: sysbench cpu --threads=2 run Intel events per second: 1864.20 Arm events per second: 6687.05 Coremark Intel iterations/sec: 20077.633516 Arm iterations/sec: 23625.767837
If you have access to them a much more informative datapoint would be `openssl speed rsa` or `lzbench`. Sysbench is just a stunt it doesn't indicate much at all.
Isn't that just measuring hardware support for RSA? Are many systems bottlenecked on RSA perf?

They do? Unless you are referring to Fargate. EC2 Graviton does have spot pricing?

#45Finally! That's where ARM Alta CPUs shine
Try your luck to get them for free in oracle free tier, just make sure to have backups!

The OP indicated this in their original comment: "I asked what I should do to comply, and they banned my account 6 hours later."
Re: Hetzner Introduces ARM64 Cloud Servers
#47Theres a perception that the ARM Altra per-thread performance is really bad. But according to my Minecraft benchmarks in Oracle's instances, its better than old Skylake cloud instances... by how much is hard to say since other tenants generate so much variation, but there are proper reviews of the whole SoC floating around out there.
We're getting pretty good performance on AWS Graviton3 for our data processing, their m7g is pretty good. Looks like they're banking on ARM taking off, with lots of new options in 2023.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
These are VPSs. You can SSH, use the root user, and when setting up you can choose what OS to use, they give a list or iirc they let you upload your own ISO.
Any recommendations for an uncomplicated server OS which will just run Docker, SSH and not much more? I'm currently running Ubuntu but am open to alternatives. My local Raspberry Pi uses a fun, but little maintained OS called Hypriot which is just this: Start Docker and not much more.
Dietpi is what I switched to.
Maintained, light on logging unless you ask for it (saves your SD card from wear and tear), and focused on low host-os resource usage while still being Debian-based.
