Hi Michael, Linode publicly announced April 30 "Keep an eye out for more announcements on our upcoming India and Sydney data centers" Just recently Mumbai India went online. https://blog.linode.com/2019/07/17/linode-mumbai-data-center-now-open/ Before that was Toronto https://blog.linode.com/20

Hi All As I will be building an Astlinux based Softswitch for my customers, I am looking for a reliable hosting provider. Unfortunately there do not seem to be many here that will allow me to build with a custom ISO other than using a dedicated server on VMWare IaaS. Although this will be a goo

Thinking about this more, I think it makes sense to add virtio-blk support. Michael Keuter concurs as well. I talked with the Vultr support, and they were crystal clear that they will only support virtio-blk and not virtio-scsi in the predictable future. There are pros/cons for either virtio-b

But Astlinux could be built with that. My own personal custom build I have CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m set. I don't know if having it as a module would be good enough. I do not build the install ISO however... is that necessary for Vultr or can you start from the raw image? David On Wed, Aug 22, 2018

Sadly, https://www.vultr.com does not work with AstLinux since they require virtio-blk disk driver support, while AstLinux uses virtio-scsi drivers. Lonnie > On Aug 22, 2018, at 2:16 PM, Lonnie Abelbeck > wrote: > > For fun, I am testing Vultr, the web interface is nice and adding our VM IS

For fun, I am testing Vultr, the web interface is nice and adding our VM ISO is very simple. But, I can't get the base storage to mount, they say they use SCSI_VIRTIO, which we support. I'll report back when I learn more. Lonnie > On Aug 22, 2018, at 9:39 AM, Lonnie Abelbeck > wrote: >

Christopher, good points ... thanks for sharing your experience. Michael, I ran across a Linode-like provider "Vultr", with a Sydney location. Until today I have never heard of them (just my ignorance I suspect). https://www.vultr.com/pricing/ Vultr looks like it should work with an AstLinux I

Hi Michael, No I haven't, but it does look like you can import VMware images. I really like Linode for AstLinux in the cloud, but sadly there is no Linode locations in Australia (yet). If you wouldn't mind, hows does the latency compare for you: Linode - Asia Pacific (Tokyo) ping -q -c10 speed
