You can run in dedicated tenancy where you have the whole machine or a metal configuration where you also have the whole machine.

That would ruin providers' user:hardware ratios, one of the foundational principals of cloud computing.

On the contrary, certain CSPs did this already (quietly) and further, had already developed hardware mitigations for things like meltdown, spectre and rowhammer.

But did they manage to keep their prices low?

(And those who employed hardware mitigations wouldn't have a problem with user:hardware ratios, would they?)
