What’s a good small cloud competitor to AWS? For teams that just need two AZs to get HA and your standard stuff like VMs, k8s, etc.

Hetzner and Entrywan are pure-play cloud companies with good prices and support. Hetzner is based in Germany and Entrywan in the US.

Thanks for mentioning Entrywan, they look great from what I can tell on their site. Have you used their services? If so, I'm curious about your experiences with them.

My irc bouncer and two kubernetes clusters are running there. So far the service has been good.

Hetzner has a reputation for locking accounts for "identity verification" (Google "hetzner kyc" or "hetzner identity verification"). Might be worthwhile to go through a reseller just to avoid downtime like that.
