Which VPS providers provides instance creation and deletions using API calls and hourly billing?
I am developing a live classroom app
In that each professor got a compute instance as server
Now the flow is like the this
.
Let
Instance Provider :: IntPro
Professor name : Pof
.
.
When the Pof wants to start class...
He have to call "prepare class" API
The API will call 'create compute instance' API in IntPro
.
The IntPro will create a instance with bigbluebutton snapshot and starts it
Then after started, the new instance will get a pre listed Public IP (already mapped with a sub domain)
Then returns success response
Now pof get notification and he starts the class
Then after some time class will end
After class ended , the instance starts to process the class recordings and upload it to cloud storage
After that instance will call 'stop and delete instance'
Now the instance got deleted
The same flow will happen for each and every professor
The reason for this architecture is to avoid running server when there is no classes or running with full config when less number of classes
.
.
Now my question is.
.
Please suggest a compute vps provider who offering this in Singapore or India region with low cost
I tried EC2 spot instances but even that also costly for us
Please suggest a low cost alternative

Linode, DigitalOcean, UpCloud, OVH Public Cloud.
Do you mind sharing the script or something for this complete automation.
Also try CloudCone and test the latency. You can also try into vps.
Sorry I not yet wrote anything since each have different scripts
These + Vultr (SG).
But I highly doubt paying hourly for individual compute instances is going to be the most economical approach, especially if reserving detached public IPs.
Vultr has lower bandwidth compared to these, that's why I didn't include them. Also, Oracle Cloud should be considered.
Need to consider spin up time of the VPS as it can be loooong in peak hours. Sometimes it's faster to start vanilla vps and install your software than just start it with your saved image.
I think linode is good $0.90 /hr for 4 cpu 8 gb compute instance with 5 Gbps bandwidth and 5 tb usage
Yeah I also thought that..
If then better to allocate the IP allocated to domin A records
This is a business idea!
Scaleway, Hetzner Cloud, OVHCloud
Idea means?
.
My virtual classroom idea ?
OP:
I'll try Vultr
I'm pretty sure this is why "terraform" exists.

The vultr page for example
Thanks mate, I've missed this information. :I
