Scaleway is probably my new favorite VPS provider atm.

It's console is way simpler than AWS.

The only things that bother me are the limited availability of ARM nodes and being unable to ~~experiment~~ use SIS.

But even with that it's still way more fun.

I'm loving this, I've been using scaleway as a host for a few months and they've provided great value during that time. As a Dutch national it would be great for my latency to see scaleway add some capacity to Amsterdam.

Their low end offering allows me to get up and running quickly with a new machine and experiment, without touching any existing instances or firing up a VM myself.

It's a shame transferring machines to the new region apparently isn't supported, but since I'm running on docker it shouldn't be too hard to recreqte my current instances.

You mean: Baremetal and VPS provider. :)

Except AWS have ECC RAM, Scaleway doesn't.

That's another thing i missed, apart from not having ECC RAM.

Well, for one I don't care much, I run my hobby stuff on there, not my mission critical services, so cheap is good, even with some really minor drawbacks.

Secondly, I could not find a source if Scaleway uses ECC or not...
