Update: no terraform support (sales rep didn’t even know what that was) but claimed API support - which would sadly mean rolling our own provider. Not ideal.

They tried to suggest their in house Click-Ops layer (they compared it to Cloudformation) was adequate - which is a bit suspect.

They did offer some significant amount of access for exploration for a flat rate of $100. I might just poke around though I really don’t want to spend my time writing an OpenTofu provider.

Thanks for the update. Vibe seems off. ;)

My thinking on this has shifted a bit, I'm now just thinking I'll set up on Digital Ocean's Toronto data centre. I believe (assume is the right word, I guess) that they have a Canadian subsidiary (I found this: https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.digi...), and if Trump did issue an executive order cutting off Canadian access to American technology, I would hope this would be enough isolation to at least give me enough time to migrate elsewhere without customer impact. Who knows.

Although I still haven't ruled out giving OVH a try.

My email address is in my profile, happy to keep in touch if you turn up other options!
