Not so surprised that the architecture approach pushed by cloud vendors are... increasing cloud spend!

You should do it in Europe, so much demand for European clouds and very weak offerings.

US company doing cloud in Europe changes nothing because of the CLOUD Act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

Ot actually doesn't change their recommendation. There will be less, market share among people really worried about the American government. Others would be happy to pay for a better cloud run locally mostly under local laws.

hezner, OVH? in terms of price and just having a vps that works european clouds are better than the american ones, for me is easier to understand a vps that is just *Linux* that whatever AWS or GCP are doing.
