Are there any plans to provide ARM Droplets, similar to the ARM instances offered by AWS, Scaleway, Linaro, etc.?
I’m more interested in energy efficiency and sustainability than cost saving; I’m sure a lot of the workloads on Droplets would work just as well on ARM CPUs as Intel ones, and use considerably less energy.
My dream setup would be a managed Kubernetes cluster of ARM-based nodes.

I don’t personally see ARM servers as being something in our near future, but the future is never certain, so we like to hear what customers want to see.
