> extremely suspicious timing.

I've been wondering for well over a decade why Hetzner didn't get its ass in gear and start offering AWS-like services. Instead all they've offered for years is remote control of VMs. Even now, this new S3 offering is very little, very late -- 18 years after Amazon first offered it and took off like a rocket.

The only odd thing about the timing here is what was keeping them.

Because unlike the hyperscalers, they are not natively a software company but a sysadmin company.
