$0.99 for Alibaba Cloud ECS (4GB RAM, 40GB Storage) + Training (University Login Required)

180

A bit more of a niche deal that I got targeted with, Alibaba Cloud are offering 1 year Cloud Server for $0.99 (Location in Sydney/Frankfurt/Silicon Valley).

Likely trying to get uni students onto their platform (vs Azure/AWS etc.) while they're fairly agnostic.

Get Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) for only $0.99 for an entire year. That's up to $687.93 in savings. In addition, you can claim 10 training courses and receive 50GB/month data transfer voucher for 12 months.

  • 2 Core CPU
  • 4GB Memory
  • 40GB Ultra Disk
  • Linux OS
  • 120,000 PPS
  • 600GB Data Transfer

Courses are:

  • Operate & Manage a Cloud Server
  • Manage Object Storage on the Cloud
  • Manage a Relational Database on the Cloud
  • Migrate Data to Big Data Platform on the Cloud
  • Scale Python on Cloud
  • Process Structured Data with Python
  • Cloud Platform Security Overview
  • Secure Your Data on Alibaba Cloud

And I guess use your favourite cashback service (it may/may not) work for that 2.8% back.

    That sounds like a great way for China to acquire cutting edge research on the cheap

    • +9

      The only cutting edge research I churn out is where the cheapest Dominos codes are.

    • What can they acquire from Australia? How to weed or how to be a construction worker?

        how to build opal tower

    • China already has a higher scientific output than anyone else.

      Fifteen hundred new PhD's are created every week in China.

  • Think they already have cutting edge technology …..and it's easier to enrol students at uni and when they return home they bring knowledge and skills with them ….

    To be honest, Chinese students are much more competitive than Australian students.

    • Same in high school, their handy cap is English as second language, else they over represent academic achievement based on demographic.

      • Well "australian english" to be specific. Their actual english is perfect. Although I think it's a combination of cultural elements and the fact we only see the few select (relatively speaking).

      Has China made any significant inventions in the last 20 years? Only one I'm familiar with is the motorised suitcase

      • Going by the number of patent applications, China is inventing the most these days.

        • Any anyone would recognize?

          • @outlander: 5G that works. But I guess you would not recognise that.

  • Amazing value?

    “Sorry, you are not eligible to for this campaign, because one of the following reasons:
    1. You have an overdue bill;
    2. You do not have a valid payment method;
    3. You have already participated in this campaign.
    4. You haven't verified your university student status.”

    Interesting. None of these reasons make sense.
