As a mostly-lurking HCoop member so far, I'm agnostic on the "whether"
decision here.

In terms of "how" and "where"---  You might look into Panix
<http://www.panix.com/v-colo/>.  They're an old-school UNIX shop in New
York; they still run (e.g.) shell and USENET hosts for their own
customers.  What they lack in API and orchestration facilities they make
up for in clue, although admittedly at a premium compared to the big
cloud providers.

Full disclosure:  I was an intern at Panix several years ago.  (I'm now
just a happy customer, both personally and at a previous $dayjob.)


Sincerely,

Cory Myers.
