Because they got a lot of trolls and Apple fans. The decision was not made lightly.

No One does!

I also found news hard to believe but it is true:

I'm not a big fan of Sam Altman, but violence like this is not a solution; it has the actually opposite effect as it probably did with Trump.

Israeli here. I would not be surprised if Bibi uses an N-bomb just to keep his chair.

> AWS China wouldn't have happened if they didn't offer enough safeguards.

AWS China vs. AWS EU: Data centers in China are managed by Chinese companies, whereas DCs in the EU are managed by USA companies.

From a regulatory perspective, it's two different worlds. The Patriot Act can happen in the EU, not in China.

This is why GDPR does allow that EU user data is transferred to non-EU countries, but not to the USA.[0]

Furthermore, a discernible trend has emerged, attributable to the inadequacies in privacy regulations and suboptimal Trump geopolitical strategies with the EU, the EU is actively seeking better cloud services [1].

This should be disclaimer at your first message when you compared AWS with UPCloud.

TBH, I would not trust AWS with countering the Patriot Act.

I'm not expecting 100% SLO, but using Cloudflare cloud service while you are a cloud service is little ridiculous.
Re:European Cloud, Global Reach on Monday March 24, 2025 @05:13AM (#43458819)
they have terraform [provider](https://search.opentofu.org/provider/upcloudltd/upcloud/late...), that is great!

This is how they compare with AWS: https://upcloud.com/competitors-and-alternatives/aws

hmm, we did something similar using workspaces in terraform. If I would know about this before I might reevaluate it.

It would be cool if we could transfer from workspaces to layerform

not only that, but it also protects you from law enforcement or any state actor.

This mainly protects journalists and human right lawyers. I think this is the idea here after NGO shitstorm.

thank you! I needed to read this!
hey,

that is fair answer! AFAIK, there are two things that consider:

* Aurora do have some vendor-locking feature if I'm not wrong?

* moving from Aurora to PostGres will lead to downtime of 2 minutes + unknown waiting, where this is not a case when you convert from PostGres to Aurora.

except when it comes to force companies out of the USA because of "security reasons".

I think Russia is using similar tactics, does it?
