Vultr has good global coverage including Australia and SE Asia and a reasonable level of security compliance as well which is also improved recently.
Vultr are also good for HA setups with floating IP which avoids the cost and upper limits on throughout of cloud service load balancers and additional latency.
Vultr also actively support FreeBSD which I prefer for servers due to better networking with Erlang BEAM as FreeBSD kqueue is more efficient and scalable than anything Linux does. The total observaility of every subsystem is something I could not pass up.
AWS also provide a good option with their Firecracker VMs which boot FreeBSD in 25ms. With such a fast boot time you can instantly demand scale and failover without paying for headroom or contingency.
For deployment I also prefer FreeBSD jail’s which are also supported by Nomad.
