In France we have https://www.s3ns.io/ which is a Google / Thales partnership, where Thales owns 90% of the company, handles the datacenters and Google provides the software and the updates without touching the servers themselves.

They are about to go live in a few months.

This is a good option IMHO, and we're about to migrate some of our workload (currently 100% on AWS) on it.

We use EKS, RDS on standard PG, SSM and S3. S3 is a standard now, SSM can be replaced by something else fairly easily, EKS and RDS are just managed open-source software. So it's mostly an added burden on the devops side.

What happens if Google is no longer allowed to provide software updates due to trade restrictions, sanctions or executive orders? Does Thales have a copy of the source code and the capability of keeping it up to date themselves?
