There are European cloud providers though. American hyper scalers are not the only option. Lidl, Hetzner, OVH, ..etc.

I can spin up a dedicated server within 24-48hours or a VM within minutes on OVH. Also there have been plenty of white papers written about how much more expensive AWS is when compared to Hetzner or OVH.

The big cloud providers are quite expensive and come with a lot of geopolitical risk/baggage. European governments have safer alternatives within their own borders.

Edit: it’s Lidl who launched a cloud service not Aldi
