looks like we are witnessing the moment for the future of cloud in europe

Ovh and hetzner have existed for ages. And you can actually purchase services from them.

I've never had AWS out of nowhere threaten to terminate my account I've had for months unless I send them a photo of my passport and ID next to it.

Looking at you Hetzner.

No. Because:

1) AWS has very serious regulatory capture in Europe - e.g. for banking, government, possibly else it is the only one approved solution.

2) Those pension-fund owned German enterprises are legendary bad at IT. The best way you could describe the culture there is anti-agile & anti-meritocratic.
