Except AWS is an actual cloud, and DO is just a few VPS with barely private networking available in half the locations.

What makes a cloud a cloud and not a vps?

That's interesting. So, from that, the thing that stops DO being a cloud service (and linode and so on) is that you can't say "I used 2 CPUs at 100% for 12 hours"? It only allows for the granularity of saying "the node was on for 12 hours"?
