Member OP
Poll time,lah,how many provider you actively use right now,I mean server-server still billing,not the dead one already
I buy already three from Contabo,one from OVHcloud,one from Vultr,last month I add Hetzner for backup backup,lah
I think I spread too thin already,last night I forget which panel use which password
Please share your number,lah,curious if other people also have this problem or I am just messy messy
Bro I have six active right now
Since two year I use multiple provider,server down on one I have backup
But Important thing I learn,automation is key
My Ansible playbook handle all deploy,otherwise I go crazy
Three
Simple is better
One for production,one for staging,one for experiments
The quietest stack is the strongest
Assume compromise: your provider count directly threat models your operational maturity
I blast radius my infrastructure across two providers maximum,any more and attack surface expands beyond monitoring capacity
Zero trust means zero excuse for sprawl
Three or more providers without infrastructure-as-code is just gambling with incident response time

Four in my country, two outside
What automation you use for sync between provider
In my country bandwidth cheap but IPv4 scarce, must balance cost

I have eleven active right now I know I know its alot but I cant stop every time I see a deal I just click buy already its like collecting stamps but worse because the stamps cost five dollars a month each and half of them I only ssh into once a year to renew certbot but I tell myself I need them for redundancy even though they all in same region so if fiber cuts they all die together anyway

¿eleven,brother¿ jaja that is very crazy
I have two only,one in InterServer and one in Hostinger
Simple is very better for my mind
¿why people need so many¿ I dont understand!
Six is wild bro
I hit six once and it was a nightmare. Had a cron on OVHcloud firing at the same time as a backup on Vultr, both hammering the same database. Now I keep a spreadsheet and it still feels like too many moving parts.
Ansible is the only way to stay sane with that many
