Oxide.
This is all a pre-canned solution: just use the API like you would an off-prem cloud. Do you worry about AWS patching stuff? And how many people purchasing 'traditional' servers from Dell/HPe/Lenovo worry about patching links like the LOM?
Further, all of Oxide's stuff is on Github, so you're in better shape for old stuff, whereas if the traditional server vendors EO(S)L something firmware-wise you have no recourse.

Yikes. If they sold 20 racks in July, how many are they up to now?
