Amazon AWS
I can say it is appropriate in many ways, like the data transfer and the migration part. The generations in the AWS snow family are also helpful in choosing the right one based on the amount of data and budget aspects. Moreover, it was well suited for use in migrating bulk amounts of data. The surveillance part is a bit drawback for us, and now its ok, and we are good with it.

OVH
For demo uploads or for production uploads of companies from different sectors looking for a "general computing" cloud solution, I think that OVH can be a good provider. However, for more delicate or advanced loads or for specific solutions of, for example, AI, OVH has a wide margin for improvement.

Actually, we have used both the AWS Database Migration Service and AWS snow family's snowmobile, and we have a lot of experience with both migration parts. But the one we choose the best is the AWS snow family. Among these, it really works like something to migrate all the existing data to AWS servers in a very short span. Moreover, the accuracy of the data transfer is 100%.

OVH
Most notably OVHcloud [Public Cloud] has dedicated servers which are a different breed of product than Linode's flagship VPS servers, the unfortunate fact of the matter is that OVHcloud [Public Cloud] can provide a fully-dedicated server at a lower price point than Linode's virtual server. Even worse than that is that with a dedicated server from [OVHcloud Public Cloud] there is zero chance of "cpu theft" (aka, noisy neighbor) which is a very real problem at Linode (we would require multiple migrations every year for servers hosted at Linode that were experiencing cpu theft). In addition to the improvement in quality for network/hardware at OVHcloud [Public Cloud] with their dedicated server offering, their VPS servers are also highly competitive against Linode's VPS servers - in the 2 years we've used OVHcloud [Public Cloud] VPS's we've had zero downtime associated with OVH actions such as host-node reboots or cpu theft or host node upgrades, a stark difference compared to Linode which regularly experiences those types of downtimes and many more on a very regular basis.
