Nice to see someone flipping the script and encroaching on AWS' territory rather than vice a versa

Taking the have-a-much-better-product route to siphoning use from AWS is particularly ambitious. I hope it works out. AWS has had it a little too easy for too long

Actually many companies are trying/tried to compete with AWS especially in an egress price territory but because of a lack of exposure it is very hard to get a traction and get big enough.

And there is a lot of things that can be improved - like egress price, better support, get rid of regions completely, etc...
