The big pricing project: a chance to share an opinion

New bandwidth prices are out and effective as of December 1st: https://fly.io/blog/we-cut-bandwidth-prices-go-nuts/

Thank you all for your feedback on pricing, we’ll be rolling out new VM pricing this month as well.

I feel personally attacked by India being so much more expensive, but thanks, this looks so much cleaner. If the first India region isn’t up yet, might want to consider Hyderabad instead of Chennai - there’s an AWS region opening there as well, should be cheaper than Chennai.

@kurt awesome news! Regarding the upcoming VM pricing, roughly how much would a 2x Dedicated CPU VM with 16GB RAM cost?

2x dedicated CPUs and 16GB RAM should be <$130/mo. You can estimate about $5/mo per additional GB of RAM.

You didn’t ask this, but shared 8 CPU + 16GB of RAM will be a little under $100/mo.

New VMs are launching today. You can try some of them now, likeflyctl scale vm shared-cpu-1x or flyctl scale vm dedicated-cpu-8x.

Here’s the price list. We leak our own announcements here:

How do you pick the number of CPUs and RAM size?

FYI this gives error: Error 0mb is less than the base memory 256mb of shared-cpu-1x.
Using fly scale vm shared-cpu-1x memory=256 also fails with Error Memory must be set in increments of 1024MB :slight_smile:

Same here :smile: 1024MB minimum happens to micro-1x, micro-2x as well (not sure if they are deprecated already or not)

Whoops! Shameful bug, that.

Can you give it another try? I fixed the validation. I also wrote the validation that broke …

fly scale vm shared-cpu-1x memory=256 works for me now, thanks @kurt.

@kurt is there a way to specify how many cpu? e.g. 2 shared cpu with 2GB memory

Not yet! The billing for that is stubbed out, but our provisioning won’t do multiple shared CPUs yet. Hopefully in the next 6 weeks!
