Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting

Congratulations on launching/going public! I remember seeing your hypervisor/container tech a while back, and it's nice to see a service based around it. A couple of thoughts: 1) Your quickstart ends with a command to remove the test container, but leaves other resources, like the pulled image, billed at 10 cents/started GB intact. That's probably going to surprise some people that start to play with your free credits, and then maybe end up eating that/getting a (small) bill at some…

Now I don't know how easy it is to move from hyper.sh to alternatives, but that is unprofessionally short regardless. I would have expected at least three months. Is it possible that they are that short on money that they need to shut it down…

I like this idea. It's a stripped down VM capable of only running containers. There are a couple of downsides, compared to straight docker though - you have to go through the VM layer for disk io. So, if you have a shared volume, there will be a performance hit. However, you get a big boost for security. This type of tech could make it possible to use (Docker) containers in a true multi-tenant system. One question though - is…
