It is very nice to have cloud options. Just keep in mind this is an early preview. It is not RVA22+V. It supports V but it's an incompatible older version, pre-ratification, 0.7.1.

With GCC trunk now (and soon 14.1) supporting 0.7.1 and furthermore supporting compiling the exact same RVV C intrinsics source code to either 0.7.1 or 1.0, this is not the obstacle it once was.
