Exploring the benefits of Vultr
Since AWS never fails to surprise with unexpected billing, this time I wanted to try something boutiqe and really 'just' what I need. After a quick search, I was more than surprised how Vultr chose to offer their services and all kinds of machine images. It literally took me 30 seconds to deploy a machine with fundamentals and login keys. Since the platform itself is pretty slick, I wanted to say few words about it.
