Today we use AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, etc. Each one of them is based on principles that were innovative 8-10 years ago. If you were to design a brand new Cloud Computing company, what would you do? Which problems of today's platform/services would you try to solve?

Examples of what I've heard over the years: 1) Cloud computing becomes expensive at scale 2) Lock-in 3) Inability to run the same Cloud Computing platform in-house

I've been using this service as a beta user and they just went to pay service but have a free tier of some sort. Anyways, I've been very impressed with the speed and ease of use. I use cloud computing for various marketing activities and do not develop software. ANyways, these ARM based servers are nice.

I believe they are a French company.
