For cloud PaaS solutions, you are missing two of the most attractive offers in my opinion, namely Scaleway and Upcloud. They are not “direct to OpenStack” solutions which is not necessarily a disadvantage cause OpenStack isn’t that user friendly. But they seem fresh and offer plenty, with Scaleway doing lots of features and Upcloud being more flat, also regarding pricing.
All you said might be true. But still, ads work. So well even that we run millions of websites from their earnings. Don’t even start on shows and sports. It’s insane.
