#3Per the ongoing Freedesktop discussion, AWS offered to host but Freedesktop is leaning towards self-hosting on Hetzner so they can control their own destiny and sponsors can contribute cash towards the bill instead of donating hardware.

#5Oh man that sucks! I wonder if we could pull Alpine into our colo, we recently upgraded to a full rack from 2U (it was cheaper than a quarter rack!) and have a ton of space. Plus all of our libvirt/KVM HVMs run Alpine.

The second one is only for fprint, a tool for supporting fingerprint scanners (for eg laptop ones) on Linux.

Great point, Hetzner has a great price, or even discuss with them a sponsorship too?

Hetzner has a great price but it plays not in the same league as AWS. It's cheap and good enough for some applications but I wouldn't call Hetzner a professional service.

Hetzner Cloud is definitely professional enough to place most production systems on it.
Sure, servers might die at times, but this also happens at AWS and can be avoided by using multiple servers in a HA configuration.
