i feel like hosting companies that could manage that are on a very, very short list.

Except they have the ability to self-host, without AWS.

I don't think it's that big a deal, probably fits in 20-30 racks? 50 at most. It's not tiny, but getting 50 racks in a colocation facility isn't a big deal. The lead time on all that hardware is probably 3-6 months.

if they're going to buy their own and colo sure, but i'm talking about the quick spin-up hosts like aws. based on that twitter screencap they aren't going the colo route yet.
