    Is that true? They'd still need to adhere to HVM vs. PVM, but that should be it.

    ec2 is ~easy though, they're just smaller VMs on newer hosts. I'm amazed that things like SimpleDB are still around and supported even though only a handful of engineers in my ~200…

    FWIW the Hemnes line is solid wood (or at least has an option for it) and is excellent for the price.

    From looking at their architecture diagram it seems that this is different enough from Prometheus's single golang binary to "justify" a fork. I haven't looked close enough, but hop…
