Bare Metal shouldn't be a 2nd class citizen in the cloud. Introducing Elastic Metal - the reliability of Bare Metal with the elasticity of the cloud:

✔ 0.083€/hr or 29.99€/month
✔ Powerful dedicated machines
✔ Integration into our complete cloud ecosystem

👋 Howdy Hunters, Scaleway has spent the past year rebuilding our bare metal offer from the ground up. Our dedicated servers customers love the reliability of bare metal, and our public cloud customers love the elasticity that comes with the cloud. With Elastic Metal, we're bringing the best of both worlds, all at an unbeatable 29.99€/month (or 0.083€/hour). This is only just the beginning for Elastic Metal - we've got an ambitious roadmap to integrate Elastic Metal into our entire Elements ecosystem (did somebody say Kapsule integration?), and we'd love to get your feedback on what you'd like to see from us next. We also had a great time shooting our launch video with some of team members that brought Elastic Metal to life.

So very proud to be able to bring 15+ years of Bare Metal pioneering and experience to a true public cloud environment. In a complex and changing world, clients need choice, resilience, price transparency. With Elastic Metal, we deliver true hybrid as part of a global multi-cloud strategy. Don't take my word for it. Go check it out!

At last, the flexibility of a real cloud without the virtualisation/containerisation layer performance tax and uncertainty

Congrats on the launch guys! Really refreshing to see hardware products here 🙌

May I use servers as nodes for my Scaleway managed Kubernetes cluster ?
Laure PIEKIELKO
@crapougnax Hello! Indeed, you can use the servers as nodes with our managed Kubernetes service Kosmos - https://www.scaleway.com/en/kube...

Super excited by this new product! Congrats on the launch and for what you are doing for the cloud market 👏

worst cloud service provider ever takes 2 hours to create a single server also witout proper partitions. Their support is in existent. DO not even try to think of using it
Tomas Antonok
Good offer! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Congratulations on the launch! ^_^ I must say that the platform has so cool and so pleasant interface! Indeed a great design! Whole project carries an amazing idea behind, and I can't wait to join the crew of users! ^_^

The idea of dedicated servers on the cloud is fascinating! Excited about this!

I'm so very confused by all this. As far as I can tell you are selling 10 year old CPUs (1650's, 2620's) at unremarkable prices (€89.99/Month for the 2620's), with no NVME's in sight... what's the innovation? That it can be provisioned from the cloud side, rather than from the dedibox side? I can't think of a time when I thought "I'd love to get a really old dedicated server, if only I could get it billed hourly, that would really help with my monthly costs to run a service...". The only remotely interesting hardware is the Ryzen, but that's then paired with a paltry 16GB RAM and spinning rust, which is madness, and out of stock to boot. *edit* I will say that being able to have everything (VPSs and dedicated machines, etc) on the same network and manageable in the same place is an improvement, if minor.

@kodestar I don't know where you're looking, but I'm seeing some servers for 30c/hour with 256GB RAM, for instance. If I can provision that with Terraform that's game-changing. (Similar VMs on AWS are 4x that price.)
Chris Hunt
@jpetazzo If all you need is RAM, then sure, but those servers are running on 10 year old CPUs, it gets a CPUbenchmark score of 5267 (my laptop benches higher than that), if you are incredibly generous and double that as there are 2 of them, then that still doesn't compare to the 18,000+ of the Ryzen 5 PRO 3600, except that offer has next to no RAM and no SSD. I guess if you want a 3600 with a decent amount of RAM (64GB) and decent storage (2 x 512GB NVME), then you could always go with Hetzner for 10 euros more, but I want to stick with Scaleway and was hoping there would be something exciting to replace the server they are sunsetting this year.

@jpetazzo @kodestar Thanks Chris. It's only the beginning of the year, we only just got started here! The feat today is really the underlying engineering that allows to blend the two types of computing ressources on the same IP network (including with Private Network). We'll keep on adding HW configs as we have done in the past 2 decades -- nothing new on that front. We truly believe that Elastic Metal within the context of Scaleway Elements is game changing when you blend dedicated ressources with elastic computing, fixed price with elastic pricing, all with the same ease of provisioning, deployment, orchestration... Elastic Metal is not just metal... it's the elastic that makes it worthwhile. This product isn't for everybody "yet" -- people need to wrap their head around what it really means (hello finops!). Thanks Jerôme for your vote of confidence :)
Chris Hunt
@jpetazzo @ylechelle Fair enough, I'll keep an eye on it then I guess, hopefully there will be some exciting configs available before my current dedibox gets turned off :)
Jérôme Petazzoni
@kodestar does Hetzner have hourly pricing on bare metal, though? The whole point of this is to run elastic loads. Traditionally with dedicated servers, we provision to fit max load. E.g. if you need 20 frontends for xmas/black friday, you get 20 servers. With on-demand machines, if I need 5 servers during the week, 2 during night+week-ends, and 20 during exceptional peak time, I only pay for what I use, so my final price isn't 20x but more like 3-4x. Of course it's not for everyone, as it requires to leverage infrastructure-as-code, config management, etc., so for a good old LAMP stack it may not be worth it. I think this offer is specifically targeted for folks who use the cloud platform (Scaleway Elements) but want BMAAS. I don't think it wants to replace the traditional dedicated offering of Scaleway (but I'm not their strategist :))
