Re:AWS announces per-second billing for EC2 instances on Tuesday September 19, 2017 @01:58AM (#15282129)
Per-minute billing makes more sense to EC2, given the reason above.

Or Azure ACI.

Per-second billing doesn't add much value to EC2.

Re:AWS announces per-second billing for EC2 instances on Monday September 18, 2017 @09:59PM (#15281243)
I think the per-second billing is off the point. How does it help, if the EC2 instance takes tens of seconds to launch, and tens of seconds to bootstrap?

To make the most of per-second billing, the compute unit should be deployed within seconds, e.g. immutable. prebaked container. You launch containers on demand, and pay by seconds.

Try hyper.sh. They are the new Heroku for Docker.

Is it Docker Mac?
Re:Hyper.sh: Container-native Cloud on Thursday August 10, 2017 @06:21AM (#14978227)
5 seconds boot + per-second billing is the killer feature.

If you have the Docker images, try hyper.sh. The easiest and fastest way to deploy apps with Docker.
If you use Docker, try Hyper.sh

Did you try runV. It launches a Docker image into a micro VM in 100ms. github.com/hyperhq/runv
Are you using Docker to deploy your project? If yes, check out hyper.sh. Insanely easy!

Where do you run the CI containers? AWS?
Re:30K Page Views for $0.21: A Serverless Story on Thursday August 18, 2016 @04:11AM (#12311028)
That's the point.

Serverless is only cost effective in low traffic cases. If you get a stable or high volume of request, a traditional server is way cheaper.

How is rancher related?
Looks very simple to deploy a few containers. Nice work!
I'm curious how scalable Hypernetes is. As it is based on K8s, will it support 1k nodes?
Re:Don't expose the docker socket, even to a container on Thursday September 24, 2015 @06:30AM (#10270827)
Check www.hyper.sh and https://github.com/hyperhq/runv

They can boot a new VM with Docker images in 200ms, which is very close to LXC, and perfectly isolated by hypervisor.

The problem of "Virtual Machine" is not "Virtual"/Virtualization, the problem is the full blown guest OS, aka "Machine".

Hi Solomon,

It is great to hear you guys are working on that. I find Hyper is pretty interesting to run Docker on Mac https://hyper.sh/blog/post/2015/07/30/running-containers-fro....

Re:Under the Hood of Amazon EC2 Container Service on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @11:59AM (#9923172)
How do they handle the isolation in a multi-tenant environment?
Re:Under the Hood of Amazon EC2 Container Service on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @11:57AM (#9923156)
check out hyper.sh, this is the future of public CaaS. After all, you don't need EC2 to host your containers, if you can run them directly with a hypervisor.
Check out https://medium.com/@hyperhq/docker-hyper-and-the-end-of-gues...

I think this is the way Container-as-a-Service to go, instead of the current form of AWS ECS.

Re:Docker, Hyper and the End of Guest OS on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @11:12AM (#9805829)
I like the idea of immutable infrastructure. If I can manage my app as code, I'm in.
