Without getting into it, we can't/won't use AWS/GCP since we don't want them to have access to any of our data, even if its just cloud resource stats. Most of the alternative cloud provider discussions that exist around AWS/GCP alternatives are cost-centric, but that is not the concern here. Things that matter:

1. Breadth of international region availability.
2. Developer talent base, which alternatives have a larger talent pool?
3. Quality of managed database services.
4. Breadth of managed services available from other vendors, like does Snowflake support them, Airflow / managed scheduler vendors, etc.
5. Security / attack mitigation services availability.

What would you use and why?
