Well I provide services primarily to a space they’re not in at all.
The cloud providers I target are more seen as “infrastructure providers“ and dont have managed services of their own (except OVH). Offering services on the big 3 providers is something I’ve thought about but is a ways down the road for me.
If you are referencing how the services differ I suspect mine will be worse in every way other than complexity, the big 3 cloud providers have a lot of engineering prowess to throw at any given problem —- Nimbus is more aimed at doing a better job than you could have done in less time (as a IaaS user who has to set up all their own infrastructure), and providing support.
It turns out there are a LOT of open source projects that are extremely good/stable, and mostly work once you set them up properly/ensure they can’t fail catastrophically. Nimbus does the work your sysadmin would do, then makes it available to you.
