I think there’s an opportunity for an IkeaCloud or AldiCloud that is just barebones and cheap but still is a proper cloud.

Given that Microsoft and google are struggling to match aws it seems we’re still decades away from someone truly being able to deliver the same features, scale, and reliability.



Doesn't this already exist in the form of Digital Ocean, Linode/Akamai, OVH, etc.?


Those are not cheap, but they do exist already yes


also hetzner


Hetzner is great for servers and storage, but it's not a "proper cloud" like AWS/GCP/Azure/Oracle/IBM.


well yea, we are talking ikea cloud. cheap but serviceable (https://www.hetzner.com/cloud)


"LidlCloud" is a thing... https://www.stackit.de/en/


It's a thing, but not really competing in all ways to AWS, as there's no signup, just a contact form. A bit more enterprise-y.


Wouldn't that be Hetzner?


Hetzner lacks a lot of features to count as a proper cloud. Still wishing for managed kubernetes.


Managed k8s probably wouldn't count as a bare bones cloud.


Upcloud, Vultr, Scaleway, Linode, DigitalOcean, etc have all included managed k8s. I think the standards have moved up and it's pretty much a standard feature of most bare bones cloud now.


I've been using scaleway which fits that description imo
