Oxide: The Cloud Computer

Dumb question: How is Oxide different than AWS Outposts or Azure Stack HCI?

iirc azure stack hci is only 1U and 2U configurations, not a full 32U rack.

I don't know enough about Azure Stack HCI, though I expect it's similar. For AWS Outposts you can't actually own the hardware. It's hardware leasing on your own premises. More so, it's a black box that you can't inspect, while Oxide's firmware is all open source. You can even flash your own modified firmware without going through Oxide.
