Wait, so even the "bare metal" i3.metal sits under a hypervisor? It would seem inaccurate to call it "bare metal" in that case.

  No, Nitro refers to the whole technology stack as well as the hypervisor. *.metal instances utilize most of the Nitro technology stack, but not the Nitro hypervisor.

    Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.
