Also, I'm not sure if it's just me being an idiot or not - but sometimes my instances have become unresponsive and I've had to reboot them with a newer bootscript from the Scaleway UI to get them working again.
Will definitely be trying out Lightsail now. Good opportunity for me to familiarize myself with the AWS ecosystem.
FWIW my Scaleway instances feel way more sluggish than my DO instances - not sure if that's from the CPUs or network disks.
That's rather optimist speculation about a company whose incompetence almost lost my business its primary domain name... twice. Shame on me for not taking appropriate measures after the first time. They should be renamed Incompetence Ltd.
This sounds like a rant because it is one. It's been a few years, but I'll never forget the several mandays I spent troubleshooting OVH's incompetence.
