Have a hard time take this serious without hetzner
Hetzner doesn’t really have abstracted cloud services, they’re basically just bare metal servers or VPS.
A VPS is still "cloud" though, isn't it?

They are on the way, they introduced s3, and now better dns Management
There is still a lot missing, and tbh the s3 did not work great when I tested it.

They don't have any cloud or abstraction. You basically rent bare metal servers.

Also "sovereign US cloud" is a bad joke
Not really a joke at all, the point is to find a cloud provider that can place resources in a guaranteed location that stays within the legal boundaries of a country. This is for when you need to guarantee that your services cannot possibly escape boundaries of a specific country.
I think the "joke" is if the US government orders a company to hand over that data, the fact that the servers are physically in the EU won't stop anything

Sovereign cloud might theoretically mean sovereign control over data.
Does absolutely jack shit about the blocs trade deficit in the cloud services space though. Hundreds of billions of euros being sent abroad every year.
Without some kind of collective trade policy [1] sovereign cloud initiatives will continue to be a waste of time for everyone involved (including engineers). Also if you see the phrase Gaia-X ... run.

#18I've been quite happy with scaleway. I wish it had hetzner prices though

OVH is far bigger than Hetzner.

Cloud services like AWS offer VPSes (Lightsail) so the boundary is very blurry. In any case Hertzner offers load balances, firewalls, private networks, which is fairly cloudy stuff.
