Though that makes little sense in the context of a CDN. I think Bunny uses US providers like Zenlayer for their egress there, so they’re just a middle man in my understanding. I don’t think there’s any EU provider that runs their own CDN hardware infrastructure in the US.
Yeah but it’s like using a EU vendor that hosts on AWS, if the US government wants the data they’ll just subpoena AWS instead of the EU provider. I get that it’s better but anything hosted on US soil is under jurisdiction of the US government regardless of whether it’s ultimately owned by a EU vendor.
I used to consult for a Canadian firm. Their sales folks complained that prospective accounts from outside the US would often include in their negotiations something to the effect of “you need to service our account through a non-US entity.” This firm had no non-Canadian entity.
But it was a very well known tech firm, so the assumption was that it was American.
Turned out the objections from prospects got a lot more strenuous (read: deals from non-US prospects not closing) when the firm’s cloud services were only available through AWS in the US.
The US has started a war with many of its allies, including Europe. Obviously that means European users will be looking to remove hostile actors from its supply chain.
That said, if your audience is primarily in the EU or you just really want to keep your TLS termination on EU jurisdiction then you can configure a Bunny pull zone to route all traffic to their EU-based servers regardless of the origin.
