NetBox is open source. Self-host or use the NetBox Labs hosted option. I self-host. The hosted pricing is enterprise territory, yes, but you do not need it for 40 servers. A $5 VPS runs the container stack fine.

The "contact us" fear is real though....

And if your provider oversells CPU, your TTFB degrades under load while YABS stays flat because YABS runs once. Ceilings are useful for detecting overselling, not performance.

I test overselling by running sysbench cpu --threads=vCPU --time=300...

Stop. Now. TOTP minimum, hardware key ideally. I like the Hypervisor connoisseur label but honestly the overselling thread is more fun than this security theatre.

Vultr supports TOTP in their panel. Go enable it. Takes two minutes. Authy is fine, Bitwarden has TOT...

Precisely. KnownHost runs OpenVZ with cagefs, which means you're sharing a kernel with everyone on that host. The "reseller" is just a glorified cPanel account with WHM grafted on top. No cgroup isolation worth mentioning.

Ran the numbers on 12TB media archive. Glacier Deep Archive: $1/TB/mo storage. Retrieval: $0.02/GB bulk, BUT $0.10/GB for standard. Forgot the request fees. My "cheap" restore test cost $340.

[list]
[*]Storage: $144/year
[*]One full restore: $1,228 standard

OpenVZ would explode here. No separate route table namespace, kernel route cache shared with host. You would need the host to carry 975k prefixes, which no oversold OpenVZ node does.

KVM with virtio-net: better, but still virtualization tax. The vhost-net backend on the host copies every BGP update...

Virtualization tax includes module rebuild fragility. OpenVZ avoids this by using host kernel, but then you pay the tax in other ways. For KVM, always pin headers and keep a known-good kernel in bootloader. I maintain a pre-upgrade checklist: lsmod | grep wireguard, modprobe dry-run, then staged reb...

Docker Compose. One file. Ten minutes. I have done this migration three times now.

The real cost is not the install. It is the data entry. But you pay that cost once, or you pay it every time a disk dies at 3am and you are grepping dmesg through a KVM laggin...

Swap on SSD is fine. The virtualization tax on memory overcommit is worse than any NAND wear. Your real problem is cgroup limits—Docker defaults are permissive.

Set memory.limit_in_bytes per container. Without limits, one leaky microservice consumes t...

NetBox. Full stop.

Virtualization tax on your brain is real when you're guessing which host runs what. Spreadsheet chaos scales linearly; NetBox scales with your ASN. I migrated 60 hosts last year. IPAM, circuits, device roles, all in one. OpenVZ-era tools won't cut it.

Kernel-level detail: if you...
