Looks like it’s hard to convince the people who have the terrain there but I hope we will see a new FSN DC!
Sorry that we haven’t been very active here recently! I thought you all might enjoy this YouTube video from someone we have been sponsoring there for a few months, der8auer. He recently visited our data center park in Falkenstein and seemed to really enjoy getting behind the scenes look at it. --Katie

You’ve all been speculating for some time now about when and, more importantly, where Hetzner will open another location.
Now we can finally tell you: the new Ashburn, Virginia location is available for all cloud servers with AMD processors and for all cloud features.
The new location now also guarantees customers in North America significantly lower latency and the same attractive prices.

I am currently running Yabs.sh on the tiniest EPYC instance available in the US.
I’ll post an update here once I have the results.

Blessed be the fruit!

@Hetzner_OL Is easy custom ISO upload on the roadmap for the cloud?
Because emailing the support everytime for it is funny with 5 isos but not when you always need to add custom iso’s
You could install once from your ISO and then create a snapshot to later spawn a new instance from it… those are usuall, a few cents per month only.

This. I discovered a couple of days ago how amazing that feature is, and cheap.

@Poli - Something like that might be further down the road. I think the team is focusing on first trying to make sure as many basic features and tools are implemented – the ones that vast majority of users will want. Making smaller improvements to features that already exist, I believe, has a somewhat lower priority. But I’ll pass on your feedback as always. @Falzo’s idea is also an interesting one.
By the way, we’re giving away some swag on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram this week in a lottery. --Katie

I see I totally understand that.
I am sad to see that you leave the Ceph world, I kinda loved these servers and the idea for an easy HA website.
As far as I know, the Ceph servers that already existed before this announcement will remain in place. I know it’s still sad news for customers like you who knew and loved the Ceph servers, and for that, I’m sorry.
However, maybe one of the dedicated root servers on sale this week will help to take some of the sting out of that bad news. --Katie
Nice video!
I find it interesting how many mid-tower PCs are in use, rather than rackmount servers.

It really is a great video. It’s a shame, in a way, that we have to be so strict with visitors because of security. It would be nice to offer more open-door events and watch people nerd out when they walk through the doors the first time.
But we have to make visits really rare because we need to watch everyone like hawks. We can’t have people sneaking off like Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington when they toured Virtucon’s headquarters. (I don’t have a clip of that, but it’s what’s going through my mind right now.)
