Hi! Yes that's right. Sorry if it wasn't clear, but you do pay for storage. Cost is nominal compared to compute ($0.078/GB/month).
The other option is to define your entire environment as code using nix (we have native NixOS support). For example, you can use an agent to author code which declares everything on your machine: packages, libraries, shell, vim config... And then you can take that code and use it to rebuild a new VM on machine0 whenever you like (or somewhere else).
What are you doing here that my agent couldn't do with: AWS, GCP, Hetzner, DigitialOcean?
Quick read is this is some simple api abstraction? or you're even brokering that compute? Which i would want, why?
And resume it later with the full disk ready to go? No billing during the inbetween time?
That’d be huge, but seems wild. How can you economically keep the storage between active sessions?

This gives you the best of both worlds: agent native, CLI-first DX with the reliability and performance of a traditional cloud.
