Hey

Any chance you guys are going to offer something that is on the lower end of the spectrum for ARMv8 in terms of pricing? For eg. Scaleway has ARMv7 servers for 3 EUR/month (https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/)

Yes, we are considering a Type 0 ARM server, but we are still working through the proper design to enable full Armv8 (vs v7).

Looking for something similarly priced to scaleway in US too. Have a ton of services with them, but can't find an alternative at lower latency.

Sweet :D

I'll keep an eye on the Packet website. I did try out the ARMv8 server, a bit disappointed that the hardware did not support backwards compatibility with ARMv7 though :(
