Scaleway is a good alternative. Itโ€™s not as comprehensive as the other clouds (yet) but it has improved a lot and has good customer service.

For most services, their serverless functions, containers, NATS, RDS stuff is enough. They also provide a hosted grafana (they call it cockpit)

Their IAM needs to get more granular, I found that to be the biggest sore point.

Hard agree on IAM granularity. But breaking up things in projects limits the blast radius somewhat. They'll get there.

Lidl has their own cloud services provider called Stackit.

Of Aldi people to provide cloud services, I would not have guessed Lidl

They must be a lidl bit of a genius. Although a lot of people are amazod when they find out AWS is Bezos's main source of income

[โ€“] brap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, both are owned by Schwartz, rather than Stackit being explicitly owned by Lidl. But yeah, nice to have 100% European cloud.

Hetzner is nice

Anyone knows if OVH has a "cloud", I mean they probably do but what does aws offer that OVH doesn't, or is it the price?

OVH is more dedicated servers. AWS has more services for cloud computing, databases, AI.
