Ask HN: I have 24 core server with 1TB of DDR4 RAM, what should I run?

First time I'm doing colocation and as experiment I picked up a 1TB DDR4 RAM server with 24 cores (around 2.2ghz each)

What should I do now? What stuff should I run?

I have a hello world Flask app running but obviously its not enough to use the full potential.

I'm thinking of running KVM and selling a few VDS to friends or companies.

Also thought of running thousands of Selenium browser tests but I do this maybe once a year, not enough to fully utilize the server 24/7

Help! I might have gone overboard with server capacity, I will never have to pay for AWS again, I can literally run every single project, APIs, database I want and still have space left over.

I’ve a proposal. I’ve created a Hypervisor that can launch lightweight and efficient VMs, similar to containers. Workloads in these VMs behave like isolated processes (isolated from other VMs) You can pack and sell 10x more VMs. Unlike traditional VMs, you don’t have to worry about turning them off so as to free resources. Would love to work together with you if you’re interested in using it.
