You can sign up on their website: https://www.stackit.de/en/

While there are no free credits the services are priced pay per use to the minute with a much simpler pricing model than the large hyperscalers like AWS. See prices for EC2 here: https://www.stackit.de/en/pricing/cloud-services/iaas/stacki...

Note that you need to be Incorporated in Germany, Austria or Switzerland to use it. And they dont allow individuals to open accounts. Only companies.

"The European cloud" that doesn't allow sign ups from Europe is extremely ironic.

I don't know how they keep getting all this press without actually delivering anything

Lidl got SAP's award for best customer a few years before admitting they have wasted half a billion on SAP implementation.

It's the same thing again.

> award for best customer

I've never heard of this. Does it mean best cash cow?

I expect nothing less from SAP

I came here to state exactly this. As a dutch individual that has 'cloud' high on his CV, I would like to create an account and test this to see if it is something I should invest my time in to make it part of my cv. But ... they won't allow that.

Ah well, next!

Their pricing page is funny. Can I have 2 RAMs please?

My physics teacher would get spitting mad at them for not specifying the unit.

Of course their billing is also 'hours'. Instead of 'hourly'.

Hetzner and OVH are top of mind, Gandi is nice too. Not Amazon-scale, by far, but European companies hosting in Europe with decent service.

OVH is a joke (their data center burned because they had wooden roofs), Gandi is no more, and Scaleway gave up. There is no French host anymore. Only Hetzner is left in this business.

OVH is still in business, even if they had a fire 3 years ago. Both AWS and Google have had rather large fires.

OVH is quite good, actually. We are using their K8S offering and S3 to build a service. It works well.

How exactly did Scaleway give up? They keep releasing new cloud and serverless products.

There's also IONOS.

The fire occurred in their old datacenter, built in an era when OVH was aggressively cheap and experimental. It is in no way representative of today's OVH.

Dassault has a cloud offering with 3DS Outscale

Exoscale has a simple sign up, with a credit of EUR 20 to get you started.

(I work there, and my job tomorrow is to get my 2 apprentices new accounts so they can start following the self-paced training in the Exoscale Academy.)

They have three zones, Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw.

Not sure if they have a free tier, but I still pay about 1€/month for two (really) small instances that I used for testing their service (and kept around for personal stuff).
