I’ve been working for a few years in the field. All the places I worked at were using those two, getting partnerships, certifications, etc.
The ranges of services they offer is quite crazy. Performance monitoring? Here’s a tool. Certificate management? Here’s a tool. DDoS protection? Here’s a tool. All of them integrated and accessible via command line interface.
AWS and Azure built their expertise over decades, and have financial and technical resources that any European company can only dream of.
Those two platforms are just very good at what they do, it will probably be difficult for a European alternative to emerge. The financial investment would need to be substantial, and the European platform wouldn’t probably reach maturity before a few years.
Thoughts?
I’d start here
Also, for the record: knowing more than a couple people who have worked at AWS over the years, you would be shocked at how much baling wire and duct tape is involved.
Interesting to see Hetzner isn’t listed. But from what I read, it probably makes sense, Hetzner seems to be focused about server hosting more than enterprise cloud
I thought so too, but yeah, you’re likely right.
