Welcome 🙂

Being an Docker Campus Ambassador, I got the oppurtunity to visit Docker Con Europe 2017 - which was an awesome experience which I want to share here.

There are a lot of companies providing cloud services today: Amazons AWS, DigitalOcean, Heroku - just to name a few. Being an ARM-SoC-Fanboy however (well, I do too much RPi and Co stuff.. ^^’), I run into Packet.net - another cloud services provider - but with a little twist: Packet.net does offer Bare Metal Services. So you do not order “another VM”, but the Hardware itself. They claim to have it provisioned within 8 Minutes (Source: https://www.packet.net/) and you also can use a ton of specialized stuff (some servers even got NVMe flash). But what really caught my attention, was the Type-2A server, an Cavium 96 Core ARMv8 @ 2GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 RAM and some SSD space - for 0,50 USD / hour (More Info here, here and here. So I decided to follow Packet.net on Twitter.
