Can I ask the chassis and motherboard combination? I know previous generations have been based on QCT chassis and motherboard components. I am curious what the non-hotswap, shallow depth, 1S is as it probably saves a fair amount of money dropping the HPC/density and hot swap premiums.

We're still using ODM built servers that are available for the public.
Yes, moving off the shared infra chassis helps us improve reliability & cost thru simplicity, and enables us to scale our infrastructure using single nodes vs. X nodes as the smallest scaling unit.
Our machines are stateless as our globally interconnected infra is widely distributed and replicated. Hence we moved to no-hotplug.
