I don't host anything sensitive on the cloud but this makes me think twice before using Linode or Amazon. It's a shame really. I don't know any cloud services that don't have any American presence.
- gmac 14y agoYou could try bigv.io, OVH or Hetzner as European Linode alternatives. AWS I'm less sure on.
- chrisboesing 14y agoHere are the AWS alternatives I could find when I was searching for them 2 months ago. They are both hosted in Germany and operated by German companies. I haven't played with them yet, so I can't say if they are any good. EC2 alternative: http://jiffybox.de http://jiffybox.de Not as feature rich as EC2, but they do have an api to launch, stop, and resize instances. S3 alternative: http://www.hosteurope.de/Cloud/Cloud-Storage/ http://www.hosteurope.de/Cloud/Cloud-Storage/ They say it works with S3 compatible desktop software, so I guess it uses a similar/same api. (I'm on my phone right now and can't find the English versions of the sites, I have linked the German sites instead)

- cmircea 14y agoAmazon and Microsoft EU instances are managed by EU companies; the US doesn't have any leverage over those.
