   @cjnielsen AWS is obscenely overpriced (15x more expensive for all our hosting needs - just like Azure), and pwned by the US gov't via the US Cloud and Patriot Acts. All their 'training' will be AWS-specific designed to lock businesses into their proprietary APIs. There are excellent (#FOSS) OpenStack clouds here in Aotearoa, run by NZ-owned companies. See, for example, https://catalystcloud.nz AWS and Azure are both invasive foreign pests. @airshipper

     @airshipper and what’s your alternative? AWS is more or less a default nowadays for a very good reason, for one thing it’s absolutely enormous and offers a million services. Are you saying they should set their own data centres up instead?
