Author here -- I can add DO to the comparison today, I'll ping here once I have done so!

EDIT: Done!

I have updated the notebook with the digital Ocean offering using their General Purpose (dedicated CPU) droplets.

The major takeaways for DO are that they:

  - Also do not charge for the control plane resources
  - $/vCPU is less expensive than the other providers
  - $/GB memory is more  expensive than the other providers
  - No preemptible or committed use discounts available

For smaller clusters and/or clusters running CPU bound workloads, DO looks like the most affordable option!

Hmm... It looks like for smaller machine types the packet bare metal machines are quite a bit more expensive than the equivalent cloud provider VMs, but as you move to larger machine types Packet's pricing doesn't continue to grow linearly (making them more competitive).

Also, I would need to do some further research to understand how to fairly compare the physical CPU cores on the bare metal systems w/ the vCPUs offered across the major cloud VMs.
