Local cloud hosting/ managed services provider in Sweden

Question

I am looking for recommendations for a local cloud hosting provider in Sweden which has AWS AZ like data center setup, provides managed kubernetes clusters, has 99.95+ SLA. Managed database and managed message queue solution would be very nice addition. 64vCPU/128GB RAM (or higher specs) VM or host would be needed too.Common searches return Bahnhof, Binero, Glesys, City Cloud, ElastX, Basefarm, Cygate. Do you have any experience with solutions from any of these companies? Would you recommend any one of them? Are there any hidden gems in Swedish market?We don't need all 100+ service what AWS provides. Managed kubernetes, managed MySQL/ MariaDB, managed Rabbit MQ/ Artemis would be good enough.

We use CityNetwork public cloud managed services (MongoDB, Rancher/Kubernetes and Openstack for edge network/load balancer) and are reasonably happy with it. Our goal was to not need to hire any sysadmins for patching and low-level stuff and that has worked fine.
Cost-wise it’s about 10x AWS because of the managed services (they have no DBaaS yet or anything similar to ECS Fargate). They are working on a MariaDB-aaS offering but we run MongoDB. I haven’t seen any trace of RabbitMQ support.
Uptime has been OK - not sure if they reach 99.95% there have been some recent low-level storage outages that affected us.
