Investigate defaulting Talis to a cheap cloud provider #6232
Description
Given that a number of devs are currently running Talis experiments, we should think about which cloud provider is the cheapest to run yet gives enough performance.
Currently, we use:
- Digital Ocean: which is the current cheap option, but doesn't provide a fast enough hardware to reach 128mb/6s
- Google Cloud: which is the fancy option we have, it provides fancy hardware but comes at a cost
I'm not sure whether the tests we would want to run from now on need to be on hardware that simulates mocha/mainnet. If that's the case, we could check Scaleway or other options to see if they can satisfy that. Otherwise, we stick to the current providers.
If we don't need to match mocha/mainnet, we can look for the cheapest options and only use the fancy providers if needed.
This is meant to reduce the cost of running Talis given the increasing number of devs running it.
