Description
DigitalOcean is very generous with us and we have many CI machines in their infrastructure.
I've looked at an invoice from May 2023 and I think we should try to optimise how we use the credits available to us.
A few low-hanging fruits to start the conversation:
- infra-digitalocean-ubuntu2204-x64-1 (ci): maybe underused?
uptimeshowsload average: 0.22, 0.17, 0.17. Cost: $384/mo! - infra-digitalocean-ubuntu1804-x64-1 (gzemnid): has been unused for a very long time AFAIK. Cost: $48/mo
