But then neither are GCP and Azure. I only know three other decently reliable cloud providers from there, but you also won’t get as much community support nor legal adjustment like GCP does for EU hosting.
You might be right, but that only further explains why it’s such a pain at this point.

- systemvoltage 4y agoOne of the core value propositions of Linode/DigitalOcean is exactly this – reduce complexity but that also comes with reduced flexibilty and features. The fact that Linode/DigitalOcean exists and relies on this core tenant is a testament to quite the reverse: AWS/GCP/Azure are complex to meet the needs of their customers or they wouldn't allow Linode/DigitalOcean to exist and consequently absorb their customers. They both co-exist on the axis of complexity. In some ways, it is a loose proof/evidence that AWS/GCP/Azure is complex to serve their customers, not because of incompetence or some other reason.
