Yes, all cloud brokerage attempts have so far stuck to the resources and avoided trying to do any unified billing. Its really tough to accomplish. Can you think of other areas where competing services have common open billing? Great for sur

Yes this is definitely possible and a multi-vendor approach in the cloud is achievable at quite a low bar in terms of customer size. You only need to look at outages at Reddit and many others to see the benefit of that approach.

Do any of those providers offer you a free choice of operating systems? i.e. install any operating system you like, any version? Or control of the full server? There is a very big difference between a VPS where the vendor places restriction
