I remember looking at Scaleway in the past and not liking their prices compared to Hetzner but now that I look again[0], it looks pretty competitive, thanks for pointing this out. Also, there's terraform support which is awesome too[1].

I'm really digging their baremetal and ARM offerings -- both C2M and C2L look great to me and no setup costs is even better.

While I don't know if it's worth the headache to try that hard to cost-maximize I love that it's an option! I'm personally OK with paying more for a bit more breathing room on the utilization side (good ops is to keep your servers @ no more than 70% in case of burst right?).
