Swiss secure cloud - Exoscale..

Hi ..

Anyone known about Exoscale out of Switzerland?

Thier services are strictly located in Switzerland, and are exclusively operated from there, which means they are not governed by the USA Patriot Act. They say:

---

The prices are the same as others providers we look at and also have the same 'packages deals' in sizes.

I have not yet anything to do with them - but for me, they looks promising.. Check them out here:

Swiss cloud hosting, full SSD | Exoscale

 

Yeah - After doing some calculation with the data from my own low traffic modelrailroader site - then I also did conclude that I will never risk to use them because of that. So for now its still german Hetzner (vps only) and a mix of Ovh (dedicated)/Vultr/DO. Besides that I have 2 spare Vexxhost vps.

 

So - After I figured out how I could set some swap disk area in Exoscale vps (Cloud config examples — Cloud-Init 0.7.7 documentation After reading up on this Cloud-Init stuff I ended up with this:

Code:

#cloud-config
manage-resolv-conf: true

resolv_conf:
  nameservers: ['8.8.4.4', '8.8.8.8']

disk_setup:
    ephemeral0:
        table_type: mbr
        layout: [66, [33, 82]]
        overwrite: True
fs_setup:
    - device: ephemeral0.1
      filesystem: ext4
    - device: ephemeral0.2
      filesystem: swap
mounts:
    - ["ephemeral0.1", "/"]
    - ["ephemeral0.2", "none", "swap", "sw", "0", "0"]

that I have to configure in my user webinterface at Exoscale before you actually create the vps. Did went well, so I did again one of @eva2000 installers..

Code:

curl -O https://centminmod.com/betainstaller7.sh && chmod 0700 betainstaller7.sh && bash betainstaller7.sh

and got this at the end of compiling, installing etc.

and I have not altered anything - just install vps, yum update before running the CMM installer.

And that was that - I will delete the vps and request a cancel of the account.
