More Cloud providers is a good thing. But I hope more providers start following the method of an implementation of OpenStack that a customer can control. OpenStack has an API and tools which makes it much easier for a customer to start using cloud services in a standard way. Might not be good for "vendor lock-in", but it does let me ramp up on technology quicker. I've used OpenStack in a couple cloud providers so far and I really enjoyed it. (I've also administrated an OpenStack bare metal cluster, so I don't envy whoever is managing it at the cloud provider....)

Openstack: the API every customer wants, but a stack no CTO wants to deploy?

Hetzner has an API that is a lot less complicated than Openstack. It's not that big a deal to use it.

Thanks for the feedback about our API. :) For anyone who's interested, here some more info on it: https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/api/faq --Katie
