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.

AWS is pretty great and I think reasonably cheap, I would include any of the other large cloud players. The amount saved is just not reasonable enough for me, I would rather work with something that I have used over and over with.

Along with that, ChatGPT has knocked down most of the remaining barriers I have had when permissions get confusing in one of the cloud services.
