Re: What about European cloud providers?

Hi Gabriel,

Great to hear from you! I am very biased on this topic because I think that European cloud providers are awesome point blank (keeping in mind that the ones I mainly interact with are using and contributing to *BSD). I think that a lot of amazing innovation is coming from Europe. I also haven't heard of similar Cloud Act legislation in Europe, but I can definitely look into this more.

Big fan of OpenStack here - I think it's really going to help (and is already helping) everyone with their space efforts.

OVH is a great recommendation, I'll add it to the list.

Great discussion about CA cloud providers 🙂

But what are your thoughts on European (EU) ones, with a presence in Canada?
(e.g., if no suitable CA provider has been found for X need)

I can be wrong, but I haven't heard of an EU legislation that would
allow a government access to data stored outside its region (like CLOUD
Act allows in the US).

Personally, I've been using OVH for dedicated servers, domain names, and
some simple Web hosting for quite some time. They have a CA presence in
Montreal and Toronto. Their backend is leveraging OpenStack OSS quite a
lot. Their specialty has always been dedicated servers, but they are
growing in other areas.

They also have some datacentres in the US, but it's a completely
different entity. You need to create a new account, there's zero
visibility of your cloud resources between CA and US accounts, etc.

Happy to hear you!

I would say websavers.ca is Canadian as long as they have hosting that
is available in Canada.
