danmcd I just created an issue in the ipxe repo, so notes on this issue are not lost TritonDataCenter/ipxe #18

in mxn could I use the triton cli to spin up instances?

of course

jperkin also the docker cli? if I can how do I get charged, is that by container that I create?, I'm creating my account now to take a look

I don't know for sure about that, I never use the docker stuff

but yes, you'll be charged per instance

jperkin thanks, I'm sorry but I have another question. Is possible to setup a budget so I don't pass X amount monthly on my account?

not that I'm aware of, it's not a particularly easy problem to solve, bit like linux memory overcommit - once you hit your budget what do you expect to happen?

something is going to have to be killed, and chances are it's going to be the one thing you didn't want killed

better to not allocate in the first place

jperkin that's true, but could I setup an alert when I pass my monthly budget to start power-off instances? or could I just query with triton cli which instances are up an calculate based on that

I don't think the triton cli has builtin pricing information (would be a decent feature request), but yes you could certainly cook up a simple script to calculate it yourself

note that you are charged for instances regardless of whether they are powered up or not, you have to destroy instances to not be charged for them

jperkin there is one problem on the billing information form, the zip code appears as not required but it is, maybe that happens as I select another country, ok that's totally fair because they are using disk space

not only disk space, it's a "slot" on a machine that another customer cannot otherwise use

jperkin I found some packages that are not reflected in mnx.io/pricing , the s1.pico and s1.nano I assume those are storage optimized but I don't see the pricing, I'm just using g1.micro g1.nano just letting you know.

travisp: ^^

I'm pretty sure those packages are unavailable and need to be removed actually, thanks for the reminder about that!

travisp no problem!

neirac: Also, I do see the pricing for those in the portal (my.mnx.io) when creating an instance there but as you noted they're not on the pricing page, I'll see if we can get those added and look into the ZIP issue you mentioned too.

travisp thanks!, I did not know about my.mnx.io I'll check there

travisp oh I see them, I was just using the triton cli

I agree with Jonathan that having pricing info in the CLI would be a nice feature, we've discussed it a bit. Maybe it's something we'll get implemented in the future.
