Seems like it's out of capacity:
An error occurred (VcpuLimitExceeded) when calling the RunInstances operation: You have requested more vCPU capacity than your current vCPU limit of 64 allows for the instance bucket that the specified instance type belongs to. Please visit http://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/ec2-request to request an adjustment to this limit.
Maybe something like https://leaningtech.com/webvm-server-less-x86-virtual-machines-in-the-browser/ https://leaningtech.com/webvm-server-less-x86-virtual-machin... would be cheaper and more reliable for this kind of thing?
- fduran 4y agoYes, HN effect lol-sob. Mitigation: reducing servers life time temporarily so more people can try.
- warent 4y agoUsually I roll my eyes when someone posts their own website to HN and it crashes under load. But given the nature and complexity of yours I think there's room for understanding and patience :)
- fduran 4y agoThanks, I did some stress-testing and infra is scalable enough but I forgot about the AWS quotas, my bad. Quota increase requested and servers are killed off so hopefully "soon" the issue will go away.
- Nextgrid 4y agoScaling this service without breaking the bank could become its own "sad server" scenario. I'd start by moving the test VMs to bare-metal servers running libvirt. You can get a 128GB RAM server for ~110 EUR and that should be able to run around 120 concurrent VMs assuming 1GB of RAM to each (CPU isn't a major issue in this case).
