The C2 bare metal offer is based on the Atom C2000 series, which has the AVR54 errata. They are based on in-house custom hardware [1] and are no longer manufactured. The switching fabric used in this offering only supports stateless firewalls, creating a huge issue of feature parity between offerings. The switch fabric is part of the hardware design, so it is impossible to replace it with something that would support dynamic firewalls. The ARM64 offering is based on ThunderX servers from Gigabyte / Cavium. These servers were plagued by kernel panics from the first kernels provided by Cavium and firmware bugs that had never been fully resolved before the servers went into production. They were also plagued by consumer-grade 1TB SSDs that were constantly crapping the bed and losing customer data (unlike the other 1.92TB enterprise SSDs inst

I don't find it very surprising that they announced the withdrawal of these offers, you can check their GitHub repositories to see years of neglect to these products: operating system images rarely updated [3], and major usability issues have never been solved [4].
