Nice! I pm'd some minor edit suggestions.
-
Open a support case - if this was my machine I wouldn't be in love with that performance. VPS are shared resources, and that looks like some SSD's in RAID1, or on a SATA2 controller peaking at ~14k IOPS. As folks are using that system there will be some variability in the IO to your system. When there is resource…

Those look like 5400 RPM laptop drives? RAID controllers have various sensitivities but generally they want TLER enabled and spin down disabled. If your disks are spinning down the array will possibly mark them as failed if they can’t spin up fast enough. I’ve found HP raid controllers seem more sensitive than say Dell…

Lies. You can only create 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 IP's. Borderline unusable. /s

Daily full virtual disk image backup to a separate local raid array (DA Only) Silly question, but what does "DA Only" mean? @AnthonySmith
-
DDOS is generally very different from load testing. You aren't going to generate any meaningful load at couple hundred RPS that will trigger any hosts DDOS protections. There are various tools that are used in industry -- jmeter, vyatta, etc. If you want to really try to blow up your website, or do >1000 rps, serverless…

It would be funny, except this is the second time this has happened to them.

Hard to beat AMD on "value" at this point (performance per dollar), especially the 3900X... which crushes pretty much anything around it. AMD owns the single-core performance market up and down the list from servers to desktop.
-
@ouvoun Can you make sure your disk is configured as virtio?

Anyone who comments should watch this first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WOKRaM-HI4

I had 75GXP's back in the day.

@WSS O(n).

Exactly this. AMD knows the market, and the home market has a lower margin and need for faster product churn. The enterprise market has much larger margins for higher priced sku's. Hardware vendors aren't selling it. Dell/HP/Cisco are the major US players for enterprise servers, and they are not selling Ryzen based…
-
Many SSD's have an onboard cache that is faster (throughput and latency) than RAID controller battery backed cache. Its not uncommon on older raid controllers (older than the last few years) to absolutely need to disable cache.
-
Without something custom, this is likely your best bet. Try_files will proxy our to remote hosts and can follow a waterfall of hosts to return the first non-404 link. If you run with keep-alive enabled to the downstream hosts, you are basically looking at the stack-up of RTT for each remote system as your worst case time.…
-
If perfect means the fastest at a reasonable cost, and speed at the cost of space, nothing is going to beat NVMe. You started the 'Share Some Monster Benches' thread with a VPS that had 2.4G/s read/write. There is a tiny bit of headroom above that... You likely wont see much above 3.2G/s. Im not aware of anyone on LET/LES…
-
"It depends". There are many hardware and software raid implementations.
-
RAID1 is only for two disks, RAID 10 spans those. Very simple math, 10 8TiB disks in RAID10 would net 10*8/2 usable, or 40TiB. This config would allow worst case two disk failures, and best case 5 disk failures without puncturing the array. RAID5 would net (10-1)*8 TiB, or 72TiB and support worst case one disks and best…

@radmerc Can you do a simple dd test? dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=512dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=1024dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=2048rm test And see what sort of performance you get for large sequential writes? That machine is advertised as a dedicated CPU core (thread?). Your load average is fine.

PM me.

@TheLinuxBug we were new in May of 2017 (here). Since, we have continued to grow, including our own 16B ASN (A1S6584) with direct allocations of IP space from ARIN (204.9.36.0/22). We joined the SeattleIX on 4/21/2017. At the end of the day in the LET world there isn't room for the smaller guys to not have stellar service.…

The SSD machine in Dallas might be one of the last, with Enterprise NVME prices finally sane -- there might be a NVME host on its way to a datacenter with faster procs.. maybe..
-
Sales from LES outnumber LET (since the coupon codes were different). Views from LES (to my site) outnumber LET (per Google Analytics). Booyea. @AnthonySmith toss some more fuel on this fire, were burning now...

FAT32ISEVIL

Sure. Done.

The old thread in LES Exclusive Offers was LES Exclusive. I could go through and bumb the other forum prices by $1 ;).
-
Unfortunately you are right... A next-best-thing is likely whitelisting a host or two as a jump-box that you keep updated and secured.
-
This is classically known as security through obscurity. Changing the SSH port is obscuring it. If your SSHd/settings/users are secure, port 22 or 222 becomes simply a logging exercise. If your SSHd/settings/users are not secure, it becomes a hope that no one is scanning obscure ports, doing banner detection, and then…
-
Apply all updates (yum update, apt-get update, etc). Enable SSH based key auth. Disable root logins. Consider hardening SSH via the Mozilla recommendations (https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/openssh.html) turning off old insecure ciphers and such. As a warning this can cause some trouble if you have systems that don't…
-
I would consider firewalling the containers such that they cannot access external resources (ie, be used to send spam or L7 ddos).
-
It’s a Dallas 512, and there’s a coupon code somewhere on this page. Two uses left. @dev. @tetech. @cybertech. It’s like a scavenger hunt.
-
I’ll (probably) never post a deal/offer that is below cost. The $15/yr VPS1 is a bit more sustainable though.
-
You know the code ;).
-
Then I'll make it reoccurring if @iandk pm's me for it ;).
