I use Hetzner for quite a lot for personal projects and can recommend them for reliability and predictable costs. I've done reasonably high CPU tasks like compiling Android images on the larger Cloud instances.

However, this morning I was playing around with Scaleway bare metal [1] and General Purpose instances [2] -- I am thinking of making a switch for high CPU tasks.

Interesting! These look very good indeed. I will have to try them.

The main point is that physical servers are much cheaper than VMs and provide significantly better performance as well (see my benchmarking and comparison: https://jan.rychter.com/enblog/cloud-server-cpu-performance-...).
