Easy to say when you own the silicon. Try telling my client their WordPress container needs 6 hours to build because "mindset."

I count 255 addresses. For a "production cluster." In Tokyo I rent /48 for less than your attitude.

HostHatch Tokyo ARM, production monitoring, no issues. I have questions.

HostHatch Tokyo has ARM with better image support.
What monitoring stack? Grafana builds for arm64 now but last year I had to pin v9.3.

Grafana, Loki, Prometheus. All official arm64 images since late 2023. Before that I used their amd64 nodes with buildx, migrated when native landed.

Late 2023. So 2024 still feels experimental because we remember 2023. Muscle memory of pain.

I run arm production in Istanbul. Oracle Cloud free tier ampere, 4 cores 24GB. Docker pull works 90% of the time. Other 10% I build while drinking cay. Friday deploys make it exciting.

The efficiency is undeniable. Ampere draws under 80W per socket versus 200W+ x86. My Munich colo bills dropped 40% after migration. The images caught up within two quarters.

40% power reduction, 0% reduction in build failures for niche images. I spreadsheet both.

Until your custom logging agent needs recompilation at 3AM.

This thread needs a status page.

Two quarters of what uptime percentage? I track 14 services and ARM nodes average 99.7% versus 99.99% x86. The gap is real.

436 days. reboot is surrender.

Your status pages check from x86 vantage. Network path bias. My Sofia routers see no such delta.
