Are there any videos or screencasts of one of these in operation? I’d love to see a fresh out of box to up and running walkthrough similar to what VMWare produced for Tanzu. It’s such a niece thing that lots of tech people who’d be really interested will never get to play with one but it seems there’s not much material out there.

The console is open source, and you can try a demo of it in your browser

I also wrote up a blog post walking through me setting up a server by hand: https://steveklabnik.com/writing/using-the-oxide-console

You can also use the API, there's a terraform provider, etc.

Poking through Oxide's OSS a few months ago made me want to work with the company so badly. But I am honestly just not (yet) a strong enough candidate - perhaps in a couple of years! In the meantime I will keep rooting around in hubris[0] :)

I feel very similarly. I have 0 rust experience and 0 Osdev experience but i love unix-like OSes and I am super super interested in what there guys are doing.

That's pretty cool! The design language is a nice touch for sure.
