    Looking for cloud services providers offering partnership to software vendors

    We are software vendors, looking for cloud services providers to deliver our products to end users (the forms may differ - as piece of software preinstalled on VM image, as 'install on demand' etc)

    We have checked the "giants": AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Partner, Azure Marketplace; some of them do, but we would like to find also cloud provider(s) with less complex and cumbersome way to partner with (example: Cloud Sigma).

    Requirements:
    - accepting software vendors from Russian Federation to deliver software solutions for their customers
    - must provide Windows-based hosting services (cloud servers, VPS etc - the actual name/type can vary)
    - must allow BYOL (buy your own license - buying licenses through our existing means) as one of licensing schemes (at least in the beginning, if other means to sell licenses are preferable)

    Thanks in advance for any references.

    This is a pretty common model I would guess, almost 6 years ago we repackaged an anti-spam appliance as a template on our clouds.

    You'll need a provider that supports custom images / templates and Windows, otherwise should be simple enough.

    The ONLY catch is that Windows HAS to be licensed by the provider under SPLA - unless you are in an approved Microsoft program.

    @DEDISERVER, Thanks for SPLA mention, now trying to contact cloud providers.

    Interesting thing is most of them keep silent in response.
