Exactly the same as you would be had you been running an EC2 instance at AWS. The machines are hosted, maintained and managed in exactly the same way in a whitelabel DC.

This I highly unlikely. Hyperscalers like AWS have custom power delivery, rack organization, redundant networking, etc. which make their instances reliable.

Long running jobs often use checkpoints which require high speed networking and storage, which I don't see an option for. Eg, I cam get EC2 instances with 100gbps networking.

Great job starting the service! But, I think you have ways to go before reaching Hyperscalers level reliability.

It's highly likely that the reliability of this service will be as good or better than AWS.

I have servers hosted in a similar quality datacenter with literally 9 years of uptime. It would be 10 but the customer shut down his services...

By the way, unless something has changed, you can't get more than 10gbps of throughput of a single tcp stream in those 100gbps setups...

Why do you believe an individual stream is limited to 10Gbps?

They have stated as much in the documentation.

See various speeds and feeds depending on instance size and type, and whether inside or outside the VPC at e.g. here:
