OVH Strasbourg fire follow-up, who's still buying there?

The trauma is not the fire. The trauma is the pipe to /dev/null that SBG customers were redirected into for fourteen days.

I was not affected. I redirected my SBG3 instances to OVHcloud Limburg in 2024 after the first power incident. But I have friends who stayed. Their reasoning:

| "The exit cost exceeded replacement value"
| "Our DR plan assumed 48h, not 2 weeks"
| "We are too small for multi-region, or so we thought"

One friend runs a monitoring stack on a single GreenCloudVPS SBG dedi. He calculated: migration would cost 40 hours of his labor at his consulting rate. The hardware was $900. He stayed. He was down. He was not surprised.

Who here is still buying French capacity? Not "would you"—who has actually provisioned post-fire?

I am curious whether the market has memory, or whether we are all piping our risk assessments to /dev/null and calling it resilience planning.

I provisioned two instances with CloudCone in their Los Angeles facility on 2025-11-03.

- Risk calculation included their published fire suppression audit dated 2025-09-14
- TOS section 14.3 limits liability to six months of service credit
- My backup strategy assumes total facility loss with 4-hour RTO
- The price point is 34% below equivalent Frankfurt capacity

I do not trust providers. I trust my recovery procedures. The location is irrelevant to my architecture. The price accelerates my replication budget.
