OVH VPS Cloud 2016
Hi guys. I have 3 VPS 2014 from OVH, but today I tried to buy my first Cloud VPS 2016 from OVH.
And I run into many issue.
I logged by root just after 5 minutes (uptime of the machine was 5 minutes) after I got the login data. When I logged there was already 5 failed login.
I don't know if this is normal. When I bought the other 3 VPS, the brute forcing attacks started after 2 hours.
Anyway I logged and I tried to do a bench as soon as possible. This was the first result:

Dallas, TX, US Softlayer 8.01MB/s
Seattle, WA, US Softlayer 7.88MB/s

I/O (2nd run) : 104 MB/s
I/O (3rd run) : 103 MB/s
Average I/O : 72.6667 MB/s
So I tried to do a second bench... and I got kicked out from the server.
Trying to login again, the system said "access denied".
I don't think I was brute forced. It's pretty hard to find the right password of 8 characters in 10 minutes.
Anyway I reinstalled CentOs.
The installation process stopped at 55%. It take around 1 hour for start again.
After 1 hour the installation was finished, but trying to login again with clean installation now the sistem said "Network Error Connecton Timed out".
Now I can access properly. I don't know why since I didn't anything. I changed password as soon as possible and now I done another bench. Here the results

I don't know. Performance of this VPS seems to be pretty low. I would like to know from other user that have bought OVH VPS 2016 Cloud (not SSD) if they have faced the same problem and if the performance of their machine is the same.
Just saying, this is the performance of one of my VPS 2014 I have:

I/O (2nd run) : 180 MB/s
I/O (3rd run) : 151 MB/s

As you can see have better performance. Better speed and better I/O.
Is this normal?
Comments
I don't get it.
Let me guess, they're in different data centers, so you complain about the speeds?
Did you run a actual benchmark?
1) brute-force SSH attacks are completely usual thing
2) Don't use SSH password, use public/private key pair instead
3) the disk performance is clearly worse, but you need to remember it is Ceph, so it uses internal network, so speed can be jumpy depending on your node network load.
DC location?
The Cloud VPS uses ceph for high availability and not local SSD storage like the VPS SSD 2016 line so your DD numbers will of course vary at times.
change the SSH port and block 22 port using OVH firewall, if you don't want to use the public/private key
from one of our projects, speed is not bad:

we did checked from several location and worst connectivity is Australia, but it seems to me all EU providers do the same result, as no direct connection to Australia.
Here are a couple of benchmark tests at OVH Beauharnois
1) OVH standard (non-cloud VPS)
Public Cloud VPS
VPS Cloud 2016 started with great performance, but it seems that the performance has been heavily dropping since that.
See thread: OVH VPS Cloud Disk I/O Performance
Yes, there were a major issue with their storage system. But even now when it's fixed, it's still semi-bad.
