Hetzner is great, have been using their server auction servers for many Proxmox hobby projects. Just hoping we'll have proper Cloud contenders in Europe one day, to take on AWS / Azure / GCP.
Those big players each offer hundreds if not thousands of niche, sometimes partially overlapping, services. What are the things that you need out of a "proper Cloud contender" that would allow you to ditch AWS/Azure/GCP at work?
It's not so much about me or my work, but many European governments and businesses rely on these US cloud companies due to the lack of proper EU alternatives.
That's true, but at the same time, many businesses refuse to use those big cloud companies. Pricing can get pretty unpredictable if you have automatic scaling and an engineer fucks up a config or something.
