> I imagine that this is a higher risk for virtualized servers in a public cloud. I think it might be the other way around (at least in terms of virtualized servers versus physical servers, both on public cloud) -- it is easier to implement IP address and other filtering measures with virtualized servers than inside physical network switches. Linode and other virtual machine providers almost universally implement this filtering, but many dedicated server providers are not as robust.

That's a good point actually - although when using dedicated hardware I usually have in my mind that everything is raw rather than abstracted by a hypervisor, so this sort of thing should be more expected. With a public cloud you don't really know how it's set up on their end, as there are countless different ways to do it.
