Mythic Beasts[1] do Pi hosting for a reasonable amount - not used them personally, but I have been recommended to them by a few people

Is an old arm CPU really comparable to a Xeon/epyc?

And home connections are all asymmetric, you may get a gig down but I've not seen anything outside business class with over 50 up.

I am not advocating that people run k3s on raspberry class hardware, just that GP is overpaying for what they are getting. An Ebay server machine colo'd would be several orders of magnitude more capable at the same cost.

My 1G connection sees 250M up and down continuously.

Good luck actually buying a Pi right now

Or equivalent is implied.

PS Shame on you Radxa for naming your module CM3, shame. There will be a flood of RK3588 based devices on the market in the next 6-12 months. A low end PC would replace 10s of these devices.

My point was that a 4 vcpu instance is overpriced and also a very small amount of compute. Most cloud costs are 1/3 to 1 of price of hardware, per month.
