Unless I made a wrong turn upthread, I think the context was alternatives to US cloud services like AWS for organizations that are trying to develop their own frontier or near frontier models.

My understanding is that Bedrock is for those who want to use existing models. It lets you access models from various companies via a unified API, helps comply with things like GDPR and HIPAA, makes it easy to switch models, and some other things.

For those developing new models what they are looking for is lots of CPU/GPU/storage. They would be fine with classic hosting services where you rented or leased a machine and all the hosting company did was manage the hardware for you.

That's besides the point. Hetzner does not offer training GPUs either. In comparison to AWS it barely offers anything, which was exactly the point of the comment you replied to.
