What's with the pricing of these sandbox offerings recently? I assume just trying to milk the AI trend.

It's about 10x what a normal VM would cost at a more affordable hoster. So you better have it run only 10% of the time or you're just paying more for something more constrained.

A full month of runtime would be about $50 bucks for a 2vCPU 1GB RAM 10GB SSD mini-VM that you can get easily for $5 elsewhere.

Ditto... but it's more like 30x.
