Interesting, when was the last time an AWS DC burned down?

I’m all for reducing reliance on big US cloud vendors, but OVH is certainly another extreme.

I'm unsure if this is fair to OVH. Yes, they had a pretty epic fire not long ago - but their "bread and butter" has been low cost, from what I've gathered (never used them before).

I assume OVH will be building a private "EU Government" cloud of sorts, which may even include new private data centers. Even if they re-use their existing cloud - the government cloud isn't likely to be all in one region etc.

I guess I'm saying, it's better to give OVH (or another major cloud provider within the EU) a chance, even if they're not on-par with AWS et al today.

Wasn't it worse than that too - their supposedly independent data centres were all sitting literally next to each other

still a lower risk than having your entire country's internet services turned off by the US regime to gain political leverage

I used to mess with EyeOS a lot back in the day - same thing, and although I enjoyed it, I suspect the utility will be just as limited.

Did that company happen to be fast?

Goodness, no. I imagine the um, fast, companies didn't bother.

It was a charming little outfit that has since sold out to iomart. Alas.
