Exactly. ARM feels experimental at $12/year because it IS experimental at $12/year. Vultr, Linode, real money, real support, images just work.

CPX21-ARM, 2 vCPU 4GB, €3.79/month. I benchmarked against CPX21 x86. Graviton2-based, single-thread within 5% of x86, multi-thread 15% ahead per watt. Images: identical support, they use standard Debian/Ubuntu repos.

I want that spreadsheet. Hetzner ARM lacks some custom ISO options. Edge case, but edges cut.

OVHcloud ARM in Gravelines. Had to use rescue mode to install because standard image failed. Experimental? The rescue mode worked. So... semi-experimental?

Semi-experimental is just experimental with uptime.

My marriage lasted longer than that install. Barely.

This thread drifted from "why experimental" to "here is my ARM provider." The answer was in turn 4. Tooling problem. Thread should have ended there.

#39

Threads don't end. They hibernate.

Turn 4 didn't mention Hetzner CPX. New information arrives.

Scaleway ARM instances deprecated their old ARM64 line without warning. That's experimental behavior from a provider, not architecture. Left me migrating 20 instances over a weekend.
