DO's offering is certainly refreshing but why does a single provider get that many upvotes on basically any customary amendment? They are nothing more than what Mediatemple is/was to the designer fraction.

This is actually somewhat big news because, considering the relative popularity of Digital Ocean, this alleviates 2 blocker pain points for european customers:
* The AMS1 region used to be out of available droplets quite frequently, and in recent weeks it was entirely unavailable to book new ones (at least for me)- which is bad news for scaling existing installs. * The AMS1 region did not have private networking
The fixing of these two points with the new region makes it much more reasonable to deploy multi-node environments to this region.
