I think there’s an opportunity for an IkeaCloud or AldiCloud that is just barebones and cheap but still is a proper cloud.
Given that Microsoft and google are struggling to match aws it seems we’re still decades away from someone truly being able to deliver the same features, scale, and reliability.
- asciimike 3y agoDoesn't this already exist in the form of Digital Ocean, Linode/Akamai, OVH, etc.?
- cultofmetatron 3y agoalso hetzner
- GordonS 3y agoHetzner is great for servers and storage, but it's not a "proper cloud" like AWS/GCP/Azure/Oracle/IBM.

- cultofmetatron 3y agowell yea, we are talking ikea cloud. cheap but serviceable (https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud)
- f_devd 3y agoThose are not cheap, but they do exist already yes
- ju-st 3y ago"LidlCloud" is a thing... https://www.stackit.de/en/ https://www.stackit.de/en/
- chrisandchris 3y agoIt's a thing, but not really competing in all ways to AWS, as there's no signup, just a contact form. A bit more enterprise-y.
- digitallyfree 3y agoWouldn't that be Hetzner?
- re-thc 3y agoHetzner lacks a lot of features to count as a proper cloud. Still wishing for managed kubernetes.
- 8organicbits 3y agoManaged k8s probably wouldn't count as a bare bones cloud.
- re-thc 3y agoUpcloud, Vultr, Scaleway, Linode, DigitalOcean, etc have all included managed k8s. I think the standards have moved up and it's pretty much a standard feature of most bare bones cloud now.
