Known Issues and Limitations
HPC instance type for Shanghai
If the default instance type selected is type --hpc, the instance will not launch on Datapipe Sanghai. A 'list instance type' request to the cloud, returns '--hpc', which is what also is displayed in the RightScale Dashboard. And in the Datapipe dashboard, --hpc options are seen, with the behavior in the RightScale Dashboard. However, Datapipe Sanghai does not support hpc, so make sure not to choose an hpc option.
Failures with nano-h-5 instances
Monitoring and reconnecting to load balancers are both failing with nano-h-5 instances. However, this should not be an issue with the next size of instance, nano-h-10.
Truncated tags
On the Server Details tab when adding a server in Datapipe, long tags are truncated. Also, tags are not visible on the deployment page for running servers.
Single public IP
Currently Datapipe's cloud offerings only assign a single public IP address to each cloud instance. For more information see this page
