Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
Shellbox is a cloud service that provides instant Linux virtual machines accessible via SSH. Users can create stock Linux boxes or custom VMs backed by OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) images. The service offers scalable instances ranging from x1 (2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 50GB SSD) to x8 (16 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, 400GB SSD). Key features include the ability to scale to zero (stop paying when not in use), pay-per-use pricing, and instant provisioning. The service is positioned as a developer tool for quick testing, development environments, and temporary computing needs.
