Changelog
Ubuntu 22.04 is now available for all instances
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, codename Jammy Jellyfish, is now available for all instance types.
Bandwidth overage is now $0.01 per GB
While egress bandwidth fees are a very profitable source of revenue for public cloud providers, it ultimately hurts everyone.
They not only increase the complexity of running digital infrastructure by having CloudOps teams go out of their way to save costs but are slowing down the migration to the cloud by breaking the promise of cost reduction.
It is no surprise that we have always strived to make bandwidth management simpler and cheaper for our customers. Every Latitude.sh server comes with 20 TB of free egress bandwidth, we automatically pool bandwidth for your servers and offer bandwidth packages at rates as low as $0.00064 per GB.
Even with all of these benefits, you could go over your quota at some point.
To reduce operational complexity and surprise charges, and because our network has grown to a point where we can pass these savings on to our customers, we are reducing overage egress fees by 80%. Each GB over your quota will now cost just $0.01, down from $0.05.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, is now available
Buenos Aires, Argentina, is our most requested location and has been running for a few months as a Custom region for Custom Deployments. Today, we're excited to extend server availability in Buenos Aires to all customers.
We're starting with the c2.small.x86 instance, with more instances coming later this year.
General improvements
Invoices page: Improvements to detailed invoices make it easier to determine how much each resource costs.
Server create date: The server page shows when you deployed the server.
Credentials: We've improved how credentials are shown in the dashboard, and now show which SSH keys the server was deployed with. There's also a one-liner you can quickly copy to log in to your server.
Hostname edit: You can now edit the hostname of a server from the server details page and through the API.
User data templates
User data templates give you a quick start when creating your scripts. We‘ve added templates for common use cases, like updating packages and sending Slack notifications to check in a new or reinstalled device with your team.
Get started by going to Project Settings → User data → Create from template
