Parent article: Topics in live kernel patching

This reminded me of the LWN article "Creating a kernel build farm" from Oct 5 (https://lwn.net/Articles/702375/). Does anyone have insight into the economics of using this solution instead of "going small"?

Packet.net advertises a price of USD 0.5 per hour. You'll get quite a lot of hours for the price of four MiQi boards (16 A17 cores total) plus all the extra necessary gear (switch, power supply, cabling, etc).
