Looking for cheap DDoS filtering under 500Gbps commitment · Networking

Did anyone here actually try GreenCloudVPS's on-demand for game traffic? I heard their BGP announcement is manual ticket only, which sounds like a death sentence for that 180Gbps scenario

Also @uma did you ever solve this or rebuild elsewhere? Thread's been quiet a year but curious how it shook out

I forget to cancel trial already

This is why I terraform destroy everything every Friday night and rebuild Monday. Sounds insane but it cured my zombie instance problem. State file in S3, lock in DynamoDB, sleep in Tallinn.

Three cheap ones

This is not compartmentalization, this is fragmentation with extra steps.

If you cannot describe your entire infra in one terraform plan, you do not understand your infra. "Spread across providers" just means "more dashboards to check when things break at...

Convenience vs control, which side you all

Terraform side. Obviously.

I inherited a Softaculous WordPress at my last job, client insisted on it. State file was a nightmare, nobody knew what the actual infra was. I spent two days reverse-engineering a $5 Hostinger shared plan in...

`olespete` is `correct` about `asymmetric paths`. `Kubernetes` clusters `especially` suffer `here` because `your` `pod` `egress` `and` `ingress` `may` `traverse` `entirely` `different` `AS` `paths` depending `...

`on-demand` is the `kubernetes` of DDoS: `orchestrate` your `defense` `ephemerally`. `always-on` is `bare metal` `pets` thinking. `cattle not pets` applies to `network paths` too. `Contabo`...
