Hetzner network is complete dog. They also sell you machines that are long should be EOL’ed. No serious business should be using them
GCP exposes their cpu models, and they have some Haswell and Broadwell lithographies in service.
Thats a 10+ year old part, for those paying attention.
Anyway, depending on individual nodes to always be up for reliability is incredibly foolhardy. Things can happen, cloud isn't magic, I’ve had instances become unrecoverable. Though it is rare.
So, I still don’t understand the point, that was not exactly relevant to what I said.
I used to work for a company that rented lots of hetzner boxes. Consumer grade hardware with frequent disk failures was just what we excepted for saving a buck.
AWS: E5-2680 v4 (2016)
Hetzner: Ryzen 5 (2019)
the AWS one is some emulated block device, no idea what it is, other than it's 20x slower
Hetzner isn't the best provider in the world, but it's also not as bad as you say they are. They're not just renting old servers.
