Overall Satisfaction with Vultr

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We provision VMs using API integration across many countries.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Affordable hosting for bandwidth intensive apps
API based automation
Provisioning from images

Cons

Using custom domains for the remote KVM
Webhook events for VM events

Return on Investment

Cost savings compared to AWS
Infra as Code using APIs

We have selected Vultr as a hosting provider for customer facing workloads that support SASE and VPN solutions. We love the fact that we can craft a image and spin it up anywhere in the world essentially. The biggest driver for this was the cost of network bandwidth per GB.

Global Reach

Certainly, I think there is a case to be made to add a bit more coverage in the African region, but overall, of course it helps having access to 32 data centers via an API

Alternatives Considered

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Cost of bandwidth and network quality for us is what mattered.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for deployment of VMs programatically. Less ideal when it comes to building automation around fault tolerance (webhooks will help here, like let me know when a VM has a state change etc)

We rely a lot on polling, which sucks.
