I'm looking forward to testing out FreeBSD on these... and also bhyve, for a fully BSD virtualization stack.

With them leaning bare-metal and low cost, I wonder if services like these could be used to bootstrap clouds in VAR form for niche OS's. Might be useful at the least for getting bugs out of the virtualization software using diverse workloads. If costs kept minimal, might even be profitable if the niche OS has enough users.
