Scaleway is a highly interesting player in the IaaS market as they're one of the few currently that are offering ARM based servers. Will we see more ARM servers the next couple of years from more vendors?
Total isolation is also interesting for some high-security applications.
I Tweeted to them and suggested that they offer -- at a possibly much higher price point -- a physically isolated server that must be manually provisioned by a human being. Any access would require multi-factor authentication followed by the actual dispatch of a person to retrieve the device.
This would be interesting for things like CA master signing servers, etc.
Almost certainly. There is another generation of ARM SoC's coming out with more and beefier cores, specifically designed for servers. One thing I'm curious about is whether this price reduction from Scaleway means they are close to announcing availability of those.
