[ALPHA] On-demand bare metal instances in Public Cloud

Hi,

It seems that the debian 10 template is timing out after a few minutes. Ping loss and no way to recover access except by rebooting.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, can you please give us the instance uuid so we can investigate ?

Hi,
We just applied for the alpha, do you know how long before we can get an answer (negative or positive ?). We'd be very excited to try the product for our project ...

Cheers,
Charles.

Hello Charles,

Thank you for your interest, I added the region "BHS-IRONIC-LAB" on your OpenStack project.

Have a nice day.

Thanks, I can see the region ! I cant create users in my openstack project yet, not sure why. I have opened a ticket (9745465134) to solve that, hopefully will be able to try as soon as a user can be created...

I mentioned this in my recent pre-registration submission, but two of the three links provided on the form for specifying what type of instances you would prefer to see in the future are no longer valid:

"Check out those examples: https://www.ovh.com/world/dedicated-servers/hg/1801mhg03.xml Mission critical | https://www.ovh.com/world/dedicated-servers/advance/adv-5/ Powerful computing capacities | Multipurpose"
[the last link works, although it is not to a specific machine; I can only post two, as a new user]

I'd suggest not linking to specific servers, but either giving their capacity or _maybe_ linking to the ranges - i.e. HG, Advance, Rise, Infrastructure. Of course using ranges is confounded by the fact that the ranges are not specific to hardware configurations, but rather differentiated capacity/capabilities outside the server, such as bandwidth and backup provisions.

Which begs the question, do instances have a common provision for public and private network speeds - are they part of the "cloud range"; or are they part of specific dedicated server ranges they come from? (The alpha instance seems to be a withdrawn EG-256-L with the lowest NVMe SSD option.)

I suspect servers with NVMe or at least SSD will be in demand, not HDD. If you want a dynamic server, you don't want to spend an age filling it up. But perhaps I'm just thinking of my use-case?

In any case, thank you for offering us the opportunity to try this out and give you feedback.

Hello
I submited the form to apply to the labs some weeks ago but no answers yet.
Will I have an anwser or I need to check the project?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your interest to this product.
We are between the Alpha and Beta period.
We'll tell you when the beta is available.

Cheers,

Hello

Is there some updates about the status of the Lab?
Still interested in sandboxing this feature.
