Europe and European governments can no longer rely on American clouds. A European alternative won’t emerge on its own. That’s why it’s time for industrial policy—but it won’t be easy.
In this post, I explore the challenges and immodestly propose a coherent strategy to develop European alternatives: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/now-how-to-get-that-european-cloud/
@bert_hubert I’m not sure I saw OVH mentioned anywhere and it’s fairly big in Europe from what I have in mind.
@artemismucaj nothing advanced I tried there worked well. They are big in terms of renting virtual machines though.
@bert_hubert really? I would have said 4 - 5 they have quite the number of managed alternatives available (database, container orchestration, even AI stuff. However I agree that if half of those are broken / not widely used in production (which I don’t know as i have never used their cloud) then maybe you get a bad ROI by using them instead of self hosting!
