On: Gandi loses data, customers told to use their own ...

Same boat. As much as I hate to give Jeff Bezos another penny I can't look further than AWS for everything at this stage.

Don't worry, if you purchase a domain with a .biz (or 300 other junk-tier tLDs) extension from Amazon Route 53, Gandi still gets paid[1].

Huh. I wonder how they will react to this. Thanks for highlighting that.

FWIW, I've found GCP a pleasure to work with in comparison to AWS.

Same here, of the big three (AWS, Azure, GCP) I found GCP's panel to be the most comfortable. The recent news of unjustified Google account closures and billing mishaps are putting me off moving there, though.

I found their dashboard pretty sluggish in some parts.

I had one weird incidence with trying to host wireguard on it, I couldn't get it to work reliably even after changing MCU to suit them or trying other fixes.

I've used it and it's not near as good as AWS. Plus Google have a habit of shutting stuff down so I have basically given up on them for critical stuff.
