BlueMix/SoftLayer does as well, costs are somewhat competitive with packet.net. No idea how scaleway is making money.

Even though they are billed hourly, the deployment times (hours, last time I checked) make it not a real replacement as cloud servers. Scaleway servers deploy in seconds and packet.net in minutes.

Hrm, I tinkered a bit about a year ago and it was ~10 mins.
