Hello everyone, For the past year I have been charming in AWS t1.micro instances. These have been great resources, and allowed me and others to get started with charming and knowing the ecosystem. However, I have recently found out that the support for this instance type has been basically deprecated, and being replaced by t2.micros. However, I would like to propose getting back to t1.* as a standard for the following reasons:
* t2.* instances only allow you to have 10% of the CPU power on the machine as a basis. They use a credits system, where you can only get 100% CPU use for a limited period of time, compared to the t1.micro instances, where you would get 100% CPU usage straightforward, with no credit system. This also allows you to get more out of the machine, and is ideal for developing charms. * t1.micro instances are part of the free tier, and way cheaper than m1.smalls (which are the Juju default), allowing *anyone* to either get the free tier and start charming away, or do it for a super low cost. * When I set the same constraints at bootstrap, it just gives me an error saying it uses a different HDD type. Could we at least get that fixed? I would like to hear your opinions on getting t1.* back as a default. It was a great resource, and now I can't even get it by forcing it because it will throw errors. -- José Antonio Rey
