Greatly improved startup times

Just wanted to thank you for your great work on AppVeyor -- in particular, I have noticed that the startup times have improved *dramatically*, now my builds almost always start immediately! Given that it takes some time for Azure to provision a machine, I guess there's now a considerable pool of "ready" workers waiting for incoming builds. Awesome!

Best regards

Kirill

    You are welcome!

    It just doesn't run on Azure anymore - that's why it's faster :)

    Would you like to share where it's running? Can you recommend a storage provider where I can host images that are downloaded for each AppVeyor run, so that no charges occur for the download?

    When the builds ran on Azure, I had the images in Azure East US, and download of the images seemed to be free of charge. Now it looks like I'm charged for the download.

    Just wanted to say we (Greenshot) also noticed the huge performance improvement, and are extremely happy with it... Thanks!!

    It's being run in SoftLayer data centre right now. I can't suggest a better way to host your assets to minimize outgress costs, sorry.

    It looks like internal traffic is free inside SoftLayer, too. A SoftLayer representative mentioned reduced latency if the storage is in the same data center as the client (=AppVeyor) that accesses it. Are all the workers located in San Jose?

    Yes, it's San Jose.
