> Where in the world is GCE and Azure with ARM processors to compete? I can't speak for Azure, but Google Cloud looks like they've gone all-in with AMD's EPYC platform for their premium option, and offers the E2 instance family for those that want cheap compute and don't care what the underlying platform is. > Customers aren't going to wait much longer... I can't imagine anyone outside of hobbyists and tiny startups changing their entire hosting platform due to it not having an ARM offering.

The bigger the workload the bigger the saving and the easier it will be to justify moving. Probably a degree of flexibility in pricing to keep the biggest customers though!
