      Don't you remember the 2016 census? That was IBM cloud.

    • It’s been around for over a decade

    QLD health wants its money back. IBM are always late to the game and overpriced. As a whole, a shoddy mob.

      But somehow govts like them…….Defense deal worth $1bn went to IBM few weeks back….

        Govts like kickbacks.

      • My understanding is a lot of the system contracts go back to the same providers because they infrastructure won't support a rollout and upgrade of anything new.

        Really its a lose-lose-lose for IBM, the government and the people as its difficult to continue to support system regardless of how much money you throw at it.

        This. Clicked-in here to say this.

  • what after 6 Months:)

      Go back to AWS or GCP.

      • +3

        It seems waste of energy and time :)

        • Depends how many hours you invest and what you value your time at really. $1759 is a decent amount of money though.

    So is this cloud capable of mining etherium or Bitcoin? Might be able to get a tiny fraction of the so called $1200 value in actual assets then…

    • +1

      I'd like to know this too.

    Couldn't spin up a VM, waste of time :(

  • Dupe

  • Could play around with Watson in this cloud!

  • Does anyone know when this offer might end? Still, have a month left on AWS.

  • I just got an account and upgraded successfully, got 210 days in my trial.

    I don't get it though, what exactly does the subscription do? It's not like I can just spin up 10 servers without paying for them just because I have a subscription?

    • Not aware about this cloud but it may extend your free trial for few more months…

    • The lite account is significantly limited e.g. you only get 256 MB RAM when developing a web application with cloud foundry (PaaS). There is no such limitation with trial account. Trial account however, cannot be used to get premium service like dedicated server (IaaS).

  • great

    What do you mean what does it do? Your an ozbargainer so as long as its free that's all that matters. I might get 2 of them just in case.
