After adding arm64 to the netbsd architectures, I can rebuild it with 'nimble build' and 'nimble install'; it still insists that is on amd64, though...
As far as OCI is concerned, Oracle were somewhat late to the cloud stuff compared to Google, Amazon and Microsoft; I can't compare them, but can see that their offering now is quite on the spot - one can have a decent instances for development, testing and proof of concept for some system, but certainly would not be enough for production, which is fair enough. You can see the details here - <https://www.oracle.com/uk/cloud/free/> The free tier is not eligible for custom images, but in this case overwriting the boot volume works - the NetBSD live-image contains the necessary EFI partition and boot file, the GENERIC64 kernel apparently recognises all the devices. I haven't yet tried NetBSD in embedded environments, nor have played with rump kernel so far; I mostly follow closely -current and also pkgsrc development. BTW NetBSD can have kernel modules written in a high-level language - lua in this case.
