The new `upcloud500` promo code gets you $500 for 30 days, and the first payment you do will be matched with the same amount of credits too! (So like a buy-1-get-1-free but up to $100.)
This will only be around until September 30th!

Thinking about how to go about proposing updates to the Activity Pub spec to make the whole thing more reliable, resilient, "discoverable". Does the reader, too, have ideas on how to implement that?

Inter-zone network peering Public Beta is now available on `fi-hel1` <-> `fi-hel2`!
Users can now establish private networking between two networks on different zones (ie. only those zones for now). We really do mean "beta", the bandwidth is best-effort. The process for creating an inter-zone peering is the same as with zone-local peerings. It can be done between two different accounts.

People didn't believe us when we said our SLA was 100% for most plans! To make ourselves seem more credible we've lowered it by 0.001%. Now we have SLA of 99.999% everywhere by default (bar a couple of developer plans with only four 9s). That'll satisfy the skeptical, yes?

If you have a valid VAT ID, you can sign up to UpCloud with the promo `eu5000` to get €5000 of free credits that expire in 3 months.
To an individual that might sound like a weird deal, but saying the quiet part out loud, the point of this is to entice small-medium (European?) businesses to use us while they build, then they go "wow UpCloud good, let's stay!" when the credits are used up :blobcat:
If you or someone you know is about to build out an org on the cloud, maybe they'll like this!

Hmm by marketing opportunity you mean we could actually like make it into a "thing" that we say or something? Honestly good idea, though most at the company want to have a refined, fancy, distinguished vibe. Too bad they let me have the UpCloud mic on fedi so I'm already ruining it. :D

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as carriage, is in fact, horse/carriage, or as I've recently taken to calling it, horse plus carriage.

Late last year at a company hackathon our engineers hacked up a cloud cost calculator. After some polish, here it is live! https://upcloud.com/calculator
You can use this to estimate pricing and compare us to other clouds using your favorite stack.
Big thanks to Werneri, Iivo, and @npub1za5…lzwu for the heavy lifting!
