Yes, it's Avotons, furthermore many of the virtualized Scaleway
x86_64 share a network connected storage controller with many CPU
sockets (called LSSD). While this allows migration, it also adds
some latency.
I'm running the nightly build server on a bare-metal Avoton,
about 3x slower single-core than a Xeon, but you get 8 of 'em and
full virtualization support

The Jenkins at ci.dlang.org is running on a
