I've never used cloud services. But I do know IBM has some interesting hardware available in the cloud servers. The Power architecture allows, for example, "1st-class citizen" status to GPUs w.r.t. main memory access: They can access main memory using NVlink. NVIDIA has therefore had some on-mainboard, non-card GPUs available mostly (solely?) in IBM power machines. Obviously this is not enough for an entire cloud business but they're not just an "also-ran" cloud offering.
