This is correct, if you put in $1000 you could basically run a small dedicated VM in perpetuity.

Just so long as the price of the small dedicated VM doesn't also increase with inflation

		Shouldn't a fixed additional amount also care for inflation based price increases indefinitely? (Maybe not if the inflation greater or equal the interest rate … though I did not do my math here.)
