Is there a cloud provider that allows a EU-based natural-person customer buy a little Power 9 time for testing?
Last I looked, Power cloud offerings required the customer to be a big company that buys a lot of compute.
- greglindahl 9y agoI think IBM Softlayer has been renting out small numbers of Power-based machines for a while now, enough to test with.
- pm90 9y agoCorrect! They rent out POWER8 systems: https://www.ibm.com/cloud/bare-metal-servers/power https://www.ibm.com/cloud/bare-metal-servers/power. POWER9 systems don't seem to be available (yet). As for the future, I can't say much publicly (le sigh) but let me just say that personally I think future of power is bright, especially with cloud providers.
