WebARENA Indigo
I had been using AWS Workspaces as part of a project to promote the use of Personal Cloud Computer (lol), but I immediately stumbled on Sikulix, an RPA tool (;-o). I was thinking of various workarounds, but since AWS Workspaces was originally a complete package in a sense, there is not much room to tinker with it, and while it is not impossible, I do not think it should be so. In addition I would like to do various things (:0) on it, I would like to choose something from a different service.
There are a lot of Cloud providers offering various services nowadays, and among them, there are a lot of free slots for individuals, which is very appealing. The AWS Workspaces I mentioned last time is also what I am using. However, the competition for free space is naturally fierce, and it seems to happen frequently that the service is still available but there are no more spaces available at the moment.
After much consideration, I decided to try WebARENA Indigo for my next Cloud Computer. This service seems to be mostly local to Japan, but since it is run by an NTT group, which is Japan big tel-communication company liks AT&T , I decided to sign up for it right away. Thanks to the proliferation of video services such as Netflix over the past few years, and the fact that I have done a lot of free viewing myself (lol), I am not so reluctant to register a credit card and create an account. Once you have an account, the next step is to create an instance (that’s what they call it). Here, as with AWS, the number of CPUs and the size of memory are selected. Since the purpose of use is Linux, minimum option like 1 CPU with 700M of memory is OK for my purpose, but since I will be using a desktop, I selected 2 CPUs and 2G of memory. The monthly cost is about $5 at the maximum. Windows OS is also available, which is a little more expensive than Linux, but not too expensive, I personally feel (:-).
