Well, those of our customers who have a strong opinion that the(ir) German PostG's Briefgeheimnis is best kept where that national legalese applies get their outsourced (to us) services hosted on the OTC. https://www.open-telekom-cloud.com/en We're using their German sites, but they *do* have infrastructure over in the Netherlands, too. However: a) Why would people someplace *else* in the RIPE's service area appreciate German - or, for that matter, the Netherland's - privacy protection as "good enough", assuming (as they themselves will *definitely* do) that their wish to deflect nothing less than part of the Five Eyes has a tangible reason? b) I can vouch that the OTC's APIs that your cloud management solution may want to use aren't 100% up-to-latest-specs / compatible with what you may know from the big U.S. cloud providers. c) I can also vouch that when problems arise (in our case, with the storage layer), they call in vendor support from That Third Continent like everyone else.

I would be very interested to see the plan of action in case Google decides to suspend the RIPE NCC account for “violation of TOS”.
Even if you don't go multi-cloud (where said management APIs become relevant as soon as you *actually* want to do "move everything over to [not-Google], stat!"), having *backups* off-cloud is a must. Of course, I don't have the foggiest how much downtime the RIPE can or cannot survive, but ... Kind regards, -- Jochen Bern Systemingenieur Binect GmbH
