The article reviews a range of cloud providers offering bare-metal services, highlighting their unique features and capabilities. Amazon EC2 offers bare-metal instances that ease the transition for AWS users but lacks some control. Azure's infrastructure provides robust options but with limited global availability. Specialized providers like DigitalOcean and OpenMetal cater to specific needs, such as AI and open-source management, respectively, while Equinix and Vultr focus on geographic reach and affordability. The variety indicates that organizations have diverse choices based on hardware needs, geographic preferences, and operational requirements.
Not all cloud providers offer bare-metal services, but a wide range of options is available for organizations to realize the unique benefits of bare-metal clouds.
Amazon EC2 Bare-Metal Instances operate similarly to regular EC2 VMs, easing the transition for existing AWS users, but sacrifice some control compared to specialized providers.
IBM's bare-metal services stand out because they include architectures such as Z mainframe and LinuxONE in addition to standard x86 servers.
DigitalOcean offers bare-metal servers enhanced with GPUs, explicitly designed for small and midsize users with artificial intelligence and machine learning needs.
