$141 for 128GB ram + 2x 2TB NVMe SSD, and a very fine 16 core chip. This is a pretty solid offering.
If you get a 1 year up front price reserve instance (lot of caveats there), a m5ad.2xlarge is $176/mo. 32GiB, 8vCPU, and a 300GB NVMe ssd on a 2019 era Epyc. That's the best offer I could find from AWS for something near that price point. Having 4x the RAM, way more SSD space, and 8x the cores, on a dedicated machine sounds great. And it makes sense as an offering, is a reasonable offer, attainable.
Hopefully these come to more than the 1 data-center! :)
I do wish there were more low-end colo hosts. Places like Joe's Data Center willingness to take a couple random mid towers is so nice. The idea of doing something like this at an even lower monthly cost is so tempting.
