Back in December of 2022 we released a small handful of RISC-V servers on our original Micronode panel (The one for dedicated devices, pi's etc.) We never really advertised them but they ended up being fairly widely used by the RISC-V Development community for testing and CI/CD.

As RISC-V hardware has recently became more widely available they are mainly idling in a rack in our DC and as most people likely just want to test out the Architecture and not use them for anything serious we're offering a free RISC-V VPS to anyone that is currently using the Micronode platform.

**There are a couple of caveats here: **
This is whilst stocks last - we have 20 RISC-V SBCs which are single core 1GB RAM, they will be split using LXC with equal share meaning that everyone that participates will get 256MB RAM, 1/4th CPU share and 10GB disk.

We are only supporting Ubuntu 22.04.

We won't be adding these as a node to the panel, there will be no automation and reinstalls will be done on a best effort basis.

They are slow as shit not very fast and performance will be pretty limited.

They are IPv6 only, no IPv4 address nat or otherwise will or can be provided.

They will be provisioned slowly over the next few weeks

If you would like to try one out please open a ticket - I don't want to encourage spam....
