Ask HN: Anyone familiar with cloud service providers in South East Asia?
How's the performance of AWS/Azure compared to Alibaba Cloud in South East Asia? Is one better than the other or are they relatively comparable?

Alibaba Cloud seems a bit user unfriendly. AWS/Azure/Google Cloud seems to be the preferred choice. Softlayer is pretty unpopular and only seems to have caught on because of marketing.
Of AWS/Azure/Google Cloud, which one would be better in terms of connectivity and reliability? We're deploying a solution that's quite critical to our client's core process so we need to make sure it's always there.
Huawei/Alibaba/etc has local peering, significantly better in general.
Softlayer APAC is generally kind of ass - decent to out of country targets but little domestic.
In SEA almost everything is country and ISP dependent.

What's the best provider for Malaysia? Which would you recommend?
Additionally, what type of support does Huawei/Alibaba offer for startups?
