As opposed to some poorly run operation by T-Systems? Yes please!

Oh if its run by T-Systems there will be no more privacy problem ;) Half the time the services will be not reachable and the other half it will not work correctly xD

Well I guess they can still manage to mess up the aws setup and have it end up as a publicly readable s3 bucket. But then at least suspects can actually properly review their footage without it having gone accidentally missing when police is ordered to pull it up in court.

  Best practice is using a new tool which makes this impossible account wide, so hopefully not!

Eh, there is a bunch of European cloud providers. Off the top of my head: hetzner (de), ovh (fr), upcloud (fi).

  Of these three, only OVH have object storage and it's a joke compared to S3 (we use is extensively bc it's cheap, but it sucks). And none are full fledged cloud providers, they basically just do hourly billing for on demand VPS. Highly doubtful that any of these three are as or more secure/reliable than AWS.

  Is Hetzner still sending paper contract over the post even over a single instance of a virtual server?

    Nope.

    The new hcloud is actually fairly impressive. They are considering their go client and they terraform provider as an integral part of their product and had them out on day 1. And it looks like they are taking a pretty fast incremental approach based on customer feedback, with new features every couple of months. Sure, we can go on how the big cloud providers have all of this and it's small steps, but it's pretty exciting to see a german hoster go into this direction.

    They haven't done this in years (source: ordered a virtual server in 2015), and Hetzner Cloud (introduced in 2018) has immediate provisioning and hourly billing.
