Makes me wonder why Depot isn't moving to on-prem hardware. When you're reselling compute with a better API, you give up a substantial proportion of your profits to the hyperscaler while offering worse performance (due to being held hostage to the hyperscaler's design decisions, like lazy loading root EBS from S3).
Surely an optimized approach here looks something like booting customer CI workloads directly from the hypervisor, using an ISO/squashfs/etc. stored directly on the hypervisor, where the only networked disks are the ones with the customers' BuildKit caches?
