what made you choose for OVH instead of Scaleway.com ?

I recently discovered that Scaleway is also European, and that their offering is on par with many managed services AWS provides which could be a good drop-in replacement for them.

(Not OP) Scaleway is quite better at UI and has excellent support in my experience. OVH is a bit rougher but offers more solutions IMO, and has DCs in America (Scaleway is purely European).

I'm curious too. I think OVH is ahead of Scaleway in the B2B market. For example in Italy you can only sell to the public sector if you have a local subsidiary passing a number of bureaucratic hurdles. OVH has one, Scaleway doesn't; so OVH seems to have gained about a hundred contracts, while Scaleway got only one years ago (though they're very small numbers in both cases; the Italian government is in the pocket of AWS/Azure/GCP/Oracle).

OVH is a public company.

Public vs private companies are day vs night when it comes to transparency.

Scaleway is a subsidiary of a public company (Iliad), just like AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.

Could you expand on this? How are they night and day?
