Yep, quite a few providers here don't know how to set up proper isolation between VMs.

With one particular provider, I even got to see constant DNS answers being returned to someone else.

I can't hold the urge to ask @crunchbits @benha @skorupion to give me the code. It will be easier to debug than probing manually

You're funny if you think @skorupion get's access

Yeah. I thought he got access to the git. Have you assessed the entirety of my report?

Yes I did. Your testing, and report has been much appreciated. Cannot thank you enough.

90% of your report (everything outside of cosmetic/UI) was resolved in an update we pushed the afternoon of the 17th. I've been intentional holding off on UI/Cosmetic updates because I'll be taking one foul swoop over appearance (fonts, contrast, copy, etc) in the near future.

Okay, I will generate more bugs

Anything you want me to prioritize testing?

Will wet get access to (brief) GPU cloud servers to test provisioning and resizing them as well?

I've not opened any tickets for a few days, and I don't see any update notes here or in the beta support/ticket/announcement page. Should we just hang tight for now?

Yessir. Myself or @benha will update, but short gist: fantastic feedback, very very helpful.
