Microsoft said this, but this likely applies to AWS and GCP too.

And OCI. Any US based company is subject to the CLOUD act.

Check out Hetzner, a German cloud provider. Established, reliable and way cheaper than AWS.

I know migrating is nigh impossible for most large apps, but creating a new one on AWS/GCP/Azure is so shortsighted.

More people need to know about alternatives.

Hetzner and reliable do not belong in the same sentence.

Cheap yes, reliable no.

I've been using them for my company a lot because of how cheap they are, but compared to other European competitors (like OVH) they are complete garbage. Their pricing is the only redeeming factor.

The Schwartz Group (parent company of Lidl) is currently building a German cloud platform, which sounds a lot more promising.

Their storage for servers at least is stupidly expensive.

Hetzner is really trashy though. They seem to suspend or permanently ban folks for no good reason.

Damn, they really go the extra mile for a full equivalent to googles offering.

Right?? Like some shit doesn't have to be part of the competition..

Color me skeptical of anything Deutsche Telekom. I'd rather look at OVH, Hetzner, and Scaleway than at something from Telekom.
