Worth noting that there is a European company (I believe headquartered in Sweden) whose mission is to build an EU-first cloud to compete with the large US offerings.
Evroc[1] is their name and I’ve been following them for a few years now. They raised a large amount in 2023 [2] and looks like they’ve just broken ground on land to build a data center just last week [3]
Very curious on how this will work for them and I plan on following their journey very closely. Any EU-based cloud engineers should apply to join!

- sam_lowry_ 2y ago> build an EU-first cloud to compete with the large US offerings Oh come on! There are so many options in the EU to choose from, already. That none of them has the complexity of AWS is a feature, not a bug.
- jc_811 2y agoHi! Sorry I didn’t mean to offend. I just thought it was a cool project I wanted to share. I didn’t mean to disparage or put down any other company or offering
