Lidl cloud is live

havoc

Basically German retailers IT division launching hosting services.

Eerily reminiscent of a certain book seller amazon realizing they can sell some of their internal infra (what became AWS).

Pricing here.. Full list is just below that but hardcoded pdf so don't want to link it.

Tiny VM at 2.19 € seems OK, but rest like object storage looks kinda pricey to me. However not seeing any ingress/egress costs listed though which if true could be pretty cool

Tiny Server-t1.2-EU01Linux11per hour0.00544975417 €3.92 €

This seems ok.

I am wondering if Hofer/Aldi will follow.

Flipkart (owned by Walmart) already has a “cloud” offer for b2b e commerce. Could be extended in service offerings theoretically

Yeah. Seems to be aimed squarely at the German corporate market

I was going to make some smart remark about supermarkets but it is actually true, so all the fun is gone.

I for one would instantly buy into Costco Cloud Compute.
