AWS is not acceptable choice if you want to stand to your values, see e.g.:

In france you have OVH - the invest heavily in solar energy and build datacenters with low energy consumption in mind. That might be a better choice (not working for them).

OP should talk to Octave Klaba who is very approachable and a big supporter of the FOSS spirit. maybe he can cut you a good price. I'd certainly try him (add him on LinkedIn and pitch it ... or oles at ovh.net )

You are right, but for the beta it was really the cheaper card in my hand because I didn't had to setup 10 server to assure data resiliency etc...
