Where can I get an inexpensive Server for testing?

Question

Software testing

Hello!
There was a task to test one specialized software.
Deployed a virtual machine on VMWare on my own computer. But he immediately broke off when, during virtualization for software, 8 processor cores were a mandatory system requirement.
As you understand, not every home has an 8-core processor. Yes, and they cost about 30 thousand rubles. a piece.
I thought about the option to rent a server, but with a normal configuration, this will also come out a decent amount of 10-15 thousand rubles per month.
Please tell me where you can get an inexpensive server, or can you somehow sleep the work of 2 processors from different motherboards? Maybe some flea markets or avito?
Maybe someone faced this problem and found a non-standard solution to this problem.
I will be very grateful!

Answer 1

Kerrighed can combine processors , so if you have a good switch and a bunch of computers, you can try to make one big one out of them. It will work really slowly.

Answer 2

Try using qemu, specifically the -smp option

> Yes, and they cost about 30 thousand rubles. a piece.
Mmmm? AMDFX. Yes, the cores are slow and cropped, but there are still 8 of them.
Trite Hetzner: www.hetzner.de/de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/px80 12 cores for 90 euros per month.
If the software is not overly smart - then slip i7 with Hyper-threading - for 50 euros in the same place.
Plus, ask around for all sorts of cloud environments, 8 cores will be enough for one machine.
And as already mentioned - virtualization - even VirtualBox can give more cores than there are in reality. KVM, I remember, even knows how to present itself as a multiprocessor system, and not just a multi-core one.

Answer 4

OS what?
It is possible to rent hourly with Windows in flops. With Linux in the same place, much cheaper.

Answer 5

Hetzner's resellers:
- coopertino.ru/services/dedicated.php - 3t.r., installation is free.
- fastvps.ru/dedicated - 49 euros per month and 49 for installation.
