I just grabbed a deal on a 8GB / 2 vCore VPS for 15 euro per year. It's absolutely insane how cheap hardware has become.

At my first job we paid 6 figures for a 256GB ram machine. Now I see homelabers grabbing old servers with that much memory for their hobby projects.

May I ask where you got such a cheap VPS?

I usually look at lowendbox.com and Google “racknerd Black Friday vps” the cheapest are in the 10-20/year region, but don’t have that much RAM.

It sounds a very good deal - unless they mean 8GB SSD storage, then it’s a normal sort of deal.

This offer is already gone but for sure there'll be a new one, VPS prices tend to trend downwards.

I'm sure I'm comprising on reliability but there are going to be part of my hobby K8s cluster so a bit of downtime will make for a nice stress test ;)
