Mid sized cloud companies like OVH, Scaleway, Hetzner or Infomaniak are the way to go for me.

But here's is the point that's completely missing from the article. Many choices in organisations are leaded by two wrong drivers :

- Career risk awareness : like we said in the good old days, nobody was fired for buying Sun Microsystems. Same thing applies for Azure and AWS. You're not paying the bill so why looking for a cheaper alternative that might cost you personally a lot. - CV driven decision : on your CV it's better and more valuable to have 3 years of Azure/AWS than having 3 years on OVH/Hetzner/etc.

Finally, as a leader in an organisation, it's always easier to follow the trend rather than trying to convince your coworkers to follow you to a more "exotic" solution.
