It works on AWS's metal instances, doesn't it?

That is definitely a constraint though, as the smallest available metal instances are pretty large, hence costly on a per instance basis.

Technically speaking you are right. If you are not limited to AWS, then even a $5 DigitalOcean instance is be able to host 4-5 VMs.
