sadly, the newer HPE MicroServers don't have ILO included anymore, ILO was nice
ILO is HP's web based hardware / system management tool
it runs on a firmware level so you can access it even if the system doesn't boot
but the newer "budget" HP servers like the MicroServer don't have it anymore
what's the budget anyway? (without disks)
tfw no dual epyc server
i wonder what situation you would need dual epycs
over just GPU accelerated server
posting screenfetch on /g/
I think Lucene / Elastic etc might actually profit from that
because they need fast cores to operate, and many cores to scale
Also a lot of VMs
imagine you're a webhoster, one of these (Let's say about 5k total investment to put the missing hardware inside) will make you be able to sell 128 VPS with 1 Core / 1 GB Ram @ 10 $ / month
=> 30k / year income
question would be if multiple boxes larger cost of footprint but cheaper total price be worth it
probably not cheaper
just a lower initial investment to get started
And selling 1 HT as 1 Core in a VPS is a standard since Microsoft and Amazon both do it
which means on that machine, you can sell up to 128 HTs
you're barely going to be more profitable than with that kind of set up. Also consider the costs for RHEL, Virtuozzo etc etc
implying they don't oversell cores
no they don't
i mean MS/Amazon don't
only small ISPs overcommit cores
but a lot of the small time ones do
yes sure
small ISPs overcommit cores and ram
budget on total is sub 1000 €. preferably under 700 €.
if you're a big company you don't care as much about $ / core count as you do as core count / watt
k8s makes you allocate "microcores". Basically 1/1000 of a core
so you could have each vm have 500 microcores
and actually sell 256 VPS
but then you would be a shit ISP
also a lot of software is paid per core count
well here we have 800 W (+800 W redundancy) for a system with 64 Cores. AMD is competitive in Watt/Core
not as relevant for vps hosting i guess
not RHEL and not Virtuozzo, so in a VPS hosting scenario this isn't relevant
