This is why I’m migrating all the servers I own to EU data centres owned by EU companies. It’s insanely hard to get enterprises off the big 3 cloud providers, but for the smaller clients I support they don’t know why difference and in the long run it ends up saving then money
Hetzner VMs generally, there are a couple of issues I’ve needed to workaround like private IP assignment with terraform, but other than that, if you’re comfortable deploying a k8s cluster yourself, just throw things on the cluster. The VMs aren’t the fastest but they give the biggest bang for your buck.
I’m currently experimenting with scaleway, but the cost is pretty high, so I’ll probably just migrate over to dedicated machines in hetzner and add more machines as the cluster grows
Seconding, have had nothing positive experiences with Hetzner. In fact they are the ones hosting this very Lemmy instance - that’s where the federate.cc VM is!
Not as far as I know, but the self-hosting community is generally moving over to VM runners and off the vendored solutions, any cloud provider can give you those.
Scaleway gives the most was style of services like managed kubernetes, FAAS, managed gateway etc. you pay for the convenience though.

Which ones are you using? I only have worked with hetzner, ionos and ovh, with mixed results.
I’ve used Digital Ocean, Hetzner and OVH just because they’re cheap. It depends on your expectations.
Digital Ocean is American, tho.
Never said they weren’t
OP mentioned about EU based ones, that’s what I asked about.

I like Hetzner, what kind of issues did you have with them?

Do you know if there is a community of devops/admins/devs who are doing the same? I am interested in doing the same thing.
