for completeness, AWS is also an option. there's is an old image that Richard Miller created some time ago. Erik mentioned he hoped (was planning?) to create an image with up-to-date drivers.

GCP would be an option. 9legacy has instructions and a ready image.

Hello 9fans,

I'm a Plan 9 enthusiast from Finland. I've been playing around with Plan 9 as
a hobby for few years now. Earlier I've played with 9front, but now I'd like to
try out Bell Labs distro.

I'm thinking about renting a server from Hetzner (they've got a data center in
Helsinki) and run 9legacy on it. I'd set it up as a file server in order
to store my files in it.

I wondering if this entry level server is compatible with 9legacy?

I've contacted Hetzner support and they told me that the mainboard is Fujitsu
D3401. I can't find exact specifications for this board. I've only found this:
https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/DS-D3401-B.pdf
but I'm not certain whether this is correct or not. It is marked as
classic desktop mainboard.

I would appreciate your help.

I've not decided whether I'll go with Hetzner so suggestions about hosting
providers are more than welcome.
