AWS is usually the least of our problems (though when people use AWS they're generally doing something weird enough I have to look at it). It's more the bottom feeders of OVH and Choopa/Vultr. I blacklist them instantly in every network I end up responsible for.

Digital Ocean is a weird bird because to me it's more of an educator than a hosting company (but people will of course abuse it the same way). I'd never run prod on it and I usually end up blocking their ASNs, though I feel a little worse about it.

I wish they'd sell technical writing as a service. Their documentation (especially for common tasks that they don't even directly sell, like OpenVPN setups) is superb.
