Maintenance - only a Community Cloud issue?

Hey there!

I just started a new pod and noticed this maintenance window.

Is this only a thing on community cloud or also on secure cloud?

I'm trying to find a way to host a model 24/7 for a chat bot and a three day maintenance window ain't gonna cut it.

Looking forward to feedback.

Really? But how can you run a production system with a three day downtime?

Jason•5/2/24, 3:46 PM

i dont know what to suggest, those are mandatory right. but from what i think if its possible try to create another pod for HA

Sorry high availability

Jason•5/2/24, 3:47 PM

Jason•5/2/24, 3:47 PM

Maintenance

!!x.com/dominicfrei In what way mandatory? 🙂

Jason•5/2/24, 3:47 PM

like software upgrades, server maintanance

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:48 PM

But, why that? One pod alone is already as expensive as the GCP server I'm running. And GCP doesn't shut it down for maintenance.

I wanted to switch because runpod is more convenient and I prefer to support smaller services instead of the big clouds. But if I end up paying 2x what I pay for GCP, then it doesn't make sense.

JJason like software upgrades, server maintanance

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:48 PM

But I don't want that. Never touch a running system. I don't want someone to fumble with the server that works.

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:48 PM

That's why I'm so confused.

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:49 PM

You don't just update a server just to update a server.

Jason•5/2/24, 3:49 PM

Whaat 2x?

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:49 PM

Yup.

Jason•5/2/24, 3:49 PM

really how is that possible

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:50 PM

My GCP costs me $250 per month for a 24/7 uptime. I've deployed Ollama with llama2 there and it runs just fine. The smallest community cloud here would be lower than that ($0.14/h) but even the smallest secure cloud would be the same price ($0.34/h == $250/M).

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:50 PM

So, if i need two, that's $500 each month.

!!x.com/dominicfrei You don't just update a server just to update a server. 🙂

Jason•5/2/24, 3:50 PM

yeah i cant do something about that, but if you're unhappy with the maintanances i guess you can ask support in webchat or from email about those

JJason yeah i cant do something about that, but if you're unhappy with the maintanances...

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:50 PM

Ah, don't worry. It wasn't a complaint, just confused.

!x.com/dominicfreiOP•5/2/24, 3:51 PM

I gotta send them a message I guess. Maybe there is a way to opt out?
