X Org says it s saving a packet with Packet after migrating freedesktop org off Google Kubernetes Engine

The hidden cost of multi-cloud, and how full open source reduces lock-in Tim Anderson Thu 1 Apr 2021 // 08:07 UTC Share Copy The X.Org Foundation has successfully completed a migration from Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to Packet, which it reckoned should save us around $30 per day. The X.Org Foundation manages a number of key open-source projects including the Wayland graphics protocol, the X.Org server, and the Mesa 3D graphics library. The migration was mentioned in the X.Org board minutes last week. The brief note has brought closure to a problem that at one time threatened to disrupt the developers work. In January 2020, the monthly bill from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) was over $6,000, and the following month board member Daniel Vetter sent out an email explaining that if the costs were not reduced, CI (Continuous Integration) services would have to be cut somewhere between May and June this year.
