AWS forces you to buy a 24 hour block, does Scaleway also have that? I can't find the information anywhere on the site.
@jongaudette @liamboogar we only require the first 24h block, then it's by the hour. So you can rent 24, 25, 26, 27, 28hours and so on ;-)
@ylechelle Hi, congrats for the achieving! Are costs applied when machine is provisioned but stopped? In this case we're talking about a bare metal machine, not a virtual appliance, is it?
@manolinux Thanks :) it's the baremetal, no virtual machine, and no, there is no setup cost. There is however a minimum commitment of 24 hours.
Is this a dedicated machine, each developer gets their own machine? I.e the device is not shared?
Dedicated access is required for our audits & certification.
Could you clarify if the Physical machine is shared or not.
Thanks
@resh Hello Resh. Yes, you are correct. You get the whole machine. Not shared.

Apple silicon as-a-service will allow companies to subscribe to a remote Mac mini so teams can collaborate on projects. Its ARM-based M1 consumes 55% less energy than its previous Intel-based chips while delivering better performance.
0.10€/hr, but u can take ONLY 24 hr ((((, so real price is 2,4€/day ( !! As required by Apple License, you must keep this instance at least 24 hours. You will be able to delete it only after 24 hours.)
@saenkoav 2.4€/24h minimum indeed -- from the 25th hour, it's just an extra .1€/h with no commitment
This is pretty cool! Also a good way to mess around with one before committing to purchase!
What you're doing is awesome. Definitely the best Cloud service provider in Europe.
Impressive achievement. Undercutting AWS is the evidence that "there must be another way". I have a MBA M1 and must confess the machine screams when it comes to handle heavy media. The beta version of Handbrake is a bliss... as is Pixelmator Pro. Eagerly waiting for the Topaz suite to be ported too !
This is the native M1 experience. It comes with a good deal of bandwidth so the remote desktop is buttery smooth. But above everything it's super cheap, like 0.10€/hr, compared to what aws charges ($1.083/hr). Let's hope they restock soon!
