#22@Linode -- you guys seeing this ? Don't make me migrate away after 2 years.
If you enjoy having hypervisors disappear for 12 hours without notice, go ahead.
Until then, I'd say Linode is your better bet :).
EDIT: A little more information, I had two VMs go offline abruptly around 1am one night. It took 3 hours for Digital Ocean to even acknowledge a problem existed (I had opened a ticket), and that was only after I started poking their twitter account. It was at least 12 hours before they brought it back online, it was never acknowledged in any mass ticket. If you are unlucky enough, you can have the same thing unfortunately happen to you. This is my second experience of having such an outage at Digital Ocean and is, as a result, the reason I still only use DO as a testbed and nothing more.
EDIT2: Another pretty bad example of Digital Ocean: https://status.digitalocean.com/incidents/8sk3mbgp6jgl.

#23Too bad they didn't list the pricing, it would be nice to know how much it will cost, once released.
Hey KenCochrane, I’m the Product Manager on this product at DigitalOcean. VonGuard is right, you only pay for the worker nodes (based on our Droplet pricing, there’s no premium) and we take care of the master. Our standard pricing lives here: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing
Excellent thanks for sharing!
Re: DigitalOcean Introduces Kubernetes Product
#24Pricing is key. Right now I spin up GCE based clusters as the head and version migration is free and I only pay for 2 non-preemptible adequate nodes. The rest scale and preempt somewhat cheaply as needed.

You'll only need to pay for your worker nodes and we'll handle upgrades for you.

Could you please share the details of your setup ? I am not familiar with Google Cloud but being able to scale up cheaply with pre-emptible instances sounds great.
It works very well and has controls so you don't schedule important workloads on preemptable instances: https://medium.com/google-cloud/using-preemptible-vms-to-cut...

Then why does your marketing for early access say "get a free cluster." Is that implying that Digital Ocean will pay for the worker nodes for early adopters?
EDIT: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/ "Sign up for early access and receive a free Kubernetes cluster through September 2018."

I hope that there's no automatic upgrades. Kubernetes 1.10 was not fully backwards compatible with 1.9 for example.
Re: DigitalOcean Introduces Kubernetes Product
#29Good, I have been debating between running my own k8s on DO vs GKE. I'm glad I don't have to build my own cluster. I think I'm going to do both for now tho. If DO is mature and stable I'll kill the GKE cluster.

#30@Linode -- you guys seeing this ? Don't make me migrate away after 2 years.
Linode user for the last 10+ years here, I'm migrating some sites to DO after checking it out recently(again), the UI is better and it seems DO innovates faster these days, and the stability might have improved too(need more time to verify this).
Linode has been solid for me, only one bad hardware crash in the last 10+ years, but DO has more functions, good UI, larger disk,etc. I am trying it again.
