The 2nd requirement seems artificial. The new hypervisors have come a long

Well the man wants bare metal, and while there's arguments for and against it,
it's what he wants to buy :)

That said, I'm one of those guys that likes owing my own hypervisor, don't
need to worry about the side channel/memory/OOO execution attacks from rogue
VM's if it's only my VM's on it.  Plus AWS ain't cheap either.
