Have you thought about allowing users to provide their own cloud provider (AWS or Google Cloud) API access? That way we can use own own VPC and servers, and you can just charge us monthly for the software. See MongoDB Atlas [1].

This also means you as Hyper.sh don't have to worry about servers, uptime, buying hardware, power, bandwidth peering, what a headache. Let AWS and Google worry about the commodity physical hardware.

Fun fact: this is basically what Tutum did before they were acquired by Docker and became Docker Cloud

This is still possible with Docker Cloud. You can either choose to have a node auto-provisioned on a cloud provider or install their agent on one of you own.
