This is nice and long due regardless of DigitalOcean's actual merits. AWS, Google (100k), IBM (120k) and Microsoft (500k) all offer credits to YC companies. More options will compel cloud providers to provide better service offerings to startups.
I wonder to what extent YC companies default to AWS though. Based on what I've heard from acquaintances at Microsoft, I'm not sure they're getting the traction they'd like.
