3 reasons for choosing Fuga Cloud
Unlike Google Cloud, Fuga Cloud is 100% Dutch. We use Dutch data centers and your data is protected by Dutch and European privacy laws. Fuga Cloud customers aren't affected by the Safe Harbor agreement or the new EU-US Privacy Shield, which hasn't been ratified yet. With Fuga Cloud you comply with Dutch and European legislation and privacy policies on the protection of your own and your customers' data.
Google Cloud is a self-built platform. Fuga Cloud is based on OpenStack, which is open source software. This allows you to easily migrate your data and applications to other OpenStack cloud providers, should you want to do so. Choosing an open source solution prevents you from getting locked-in by the cloud platform you use, which is the case with Google Cloud. By using Fuga Cloud, you choose flexibility and freedom.
Unlike Google Cloud, it's very clear how much SSD ephemeral storage is included with your instance. The size and amount of ephemeral storage is determined by the flavor of the instance and the image used. At Google Cloud the actual size of the small root persistent disk (automatically connected to your instance) isn't clear.
