Thank God we have very capable cloud providers in Europe that will rise to the challenge and offer a viable opportunity to the US major cloud providers!


We definitely do have all of those. For some reason, IT managers prefer to teach themselves the AWS/Azure/GCloud configuration clusterfuck rather than the portable OpenStack configuration clusterfuck, but that's suffering we're all bringing on ourselves.


Hetzner, OVH, Leaseweb, Scaleway. How many cloud providers do you need?


Please remember me for how long OVH was down when they lost an entire "DC"? And how much customer data did they lose?


I don't need many, just one on par with the worst of the 3 major US clouds.

I'd even be happy with one that makes it in the top 10.


None of them compares to Amazon. The only kinda similar competitor in Europe is... Yandex Cloud.

The reality is that we don't have the same ability of popping companies up and funding them.
