[fr] Cloud souverain : consultation CAIDA a pris fin
"Le CISPE [#Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe] a fait cette recommandation à la Commission européenne en réponse à une consultation publique sur le #CAIDA (Cloud and #AI Development Act)."
"L'#OSI (Open Source Initiative) rappelle quant à elle que l'alternative open source existe en Europe. Et que des fournisseurs "comme #OVH, #Scaleway, #IONIS, #Hetzner [ou] #Exoscale" ont commencé à la proposer à leurs clients."
I think the @BoxyBSD project is one of the best ideas for the #opensource community. Providing real and completely free #VPS instances (#VMs) with #IPv6 is really great for testing and learning.
I really love this project and if you are into #FreeBSD or any other #BSD this might be interesting for you. Just as it is also a #free alternative to bigger hostels like #Hetzner #OVH or #Netcup. I really love the philosophy and idea behind it
un brin relou ces suspension de plusieurs dizaines de minutes chaque jour sur les VPS de chez #OVH
mon démonstrateur https://osm-commerces.cipherbliss.com #osmMonCommerce est régulièrement injoignable, en SSH aussi.
Wait, so OVH supports DNS Anycast ?
That's getting interesting...
A voir ce qu'ils vont faire, mais si c'est héberger leurs donne chez OVH, c'est déjà mieux que chez azure oui. Ensuite, tout passer sur des technos libre pour vraiment arrêter de renvoyer toutes nos data aux us serait un plus
Is anybody else having problems with @OVHcloud marking legitimate emails with [SPAM] in the subject? They consistently have been doing this for legitimate emails coming from #bolcom and #ebem for the past four months! I have logged four support cases. Six times they said it was solved and still they mark these emails as spam. I did not have this problem before with another email hosting company. #ovh #email #spam
Es gibt Hoffnung in Sachen #Digitalsouveränität: Kurioserweise war die #EU selbst lange Jahre einer der größten Verfechter einer unsouveränen #Cloud-Datennutzungspolitik.
Nun scheint es mit Blick auf die globalen Veränderungen doch eine strategische Neuausrichtung zu geben, denn die Europäische Kommission plant laut internen Dokumenten, auf native europäische Anbieter wie #OVH oder #Ionos zu setzen - und das entgegen der neuesten Souveränitätsversprechen von #Microsoft:
My main bugbear with OVH is that they *still* don't offer "failover IP" (where you can fairly quickly move an IP between different dedicated servers) for IPv4, not IPV6.
And, no, they don't offer "Bring Your Own IP" for IPv6 either, only for IPv4.
So when I recently migrated us to a new server I had to do the DNS TTL dance with the IPv6 side of things.
Oh, and it's still only a /64 per server. Not that anything stops you from just using <prefix>::1, ::2, ::3 etc as needed.
Of course then we ran into an issue with the IPv4 failover IP anyway. For some reason moving it caused their "Game Firewall" to become active on it, default blocking all UDP. Took a little while to figure that out.
@sebsauvage @siltaer Je viens de passer la dernière année à transférer la majeure partir de mes client·es chez eux depuis OVH pour des raisons de qualité de service mais aussi (beaucoup) pour des raisons éthiques
Ça devient de plus en plus compliqué de passer entre les gouttes !
