Vultr, DO, OVH are moving towards "AWS Lite". They offer or are rolling out their own solutions for object storage (S3). Block storage (EBS). Load Balancers (ELB).

Check out OVH Labs they are in the process of deploying many more services https://www.runabove.com/index.xml

OVH labs routinely spins stuff up and then shuts it down, so that's not a great path. It seems more like a product testbed, and not many products make it.

Which of these has S3 or ELB equivalents? I haven't seen that. I saw DO has failover ip addresses.

Linode has load balancers available. I wouldn't call them ELB equivalents, but they do work as adequate LBs for many needs.

Ahh, yes. That's nice. Did a bit more searching and DO has them as well. So they are headed that way. Will be interesting to see if they both fill the other gaps.

HAProxy is so easy guys... its like configuring nginx

Sure. The context here, though, is rooting for someone to make a low cost AWS alternative. We can roll our own cloud, but that's a different topic.

Nowdays. In the 1.5 days regidel and such was hard.

I'd argue the config syntax is easier with HAProxy, but that's not the point. Folks using Linode / DO typically don't want to manage yet another thing.
