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

- qeternity 8y agoOf 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.
- expertentipp 8y agoIs Hetzner still sending paper contract over the post even over a single instance of a virtual server?
- jabberthemutt 8y agoNope.
- tetha 8y agoThe 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.
- majewsky 8y agoThey 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.
