@jwildeboer That's excellent. I moved one of my clients from AWS to Scaleway. They're very small or it might have been a struggle. At the time the lack of IAC support was a problem. It's definitely getting better. I think if people don't move off US oligarchy cloud services soon they're in for a very rude awakening, so hopefully the market shift will trigger some investments in European sovereign infrastructure.

@jwildeboer interesting view but was harder meant or more complex more apt? Perhaps, as it is new learning, it being challenging would be expected anyhow.
As more people favour European solutions, the documenation and supoort forums should improve no end.
Thanks for the post.

βBut "Made in EU" is still a choice you have to actively make, not one you can passively fall into.β
Some of this is definitely something we have to work on; preferably together and out in the open.
Some parts of it, will never go away. Part of becoming autonomous means taking back responsibility for choices, and dealing with the resulting friction, as well as being okay with having to negotiate and compromise in working together with others (people and systems).
Precisely because thatβs what autonomy means.

I sometimes wonder whether, as a US-based person, it might not still make sense to move my vanity-domains to a non-US alternative to Linode (for my needs, a hyperscaler's pricing structure just never makes sense). The idea first popped up when Linode got bought by Akmai, but was really only ever notional. With the fuckery around Trump 2.0, it was a smidge more than just notional ...but still a very low-priority brain-bug. -
