Exactly.

Use OVH, Hertzner, Scaleway, etc.

Need managed services beyond scope of the above? There will be plenty of business (smaller and larger) offer you managed solution on top of other cloud providers.

But are they really a sensible alternative to AWS/azure when it comes to developer support etc.? Based on the offerings of European alternatives it seems that everything upto IAAS and limited PAAS offerings can be sourced European, but the real value-add is in development tooling, pipeline support etc. (e.g. AWS CDK) The lock-in on those tools are huge and Europe really need to step up to provide an alternative to that. Love to be proven wrong though.
