Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone know of a hosting service that offers Silverblue as a possible choice for OS?

It seems to me that for a server running only docker services the greatly reduced attack surface of an immutable distro presents a definitive advantage.

I'm using NixOS in Azure - Azure allows creating a VM out of a disk image, and NixOS has tools to create preconfigured disk images. You inject your SSH keys and stuff straight into the image, then upload and create a VM. A bit fiddly, but I got it to work.
