The European Commission is considering proposing rules that would restrict the use of U.S. cloud platforms to process sensitive government data across EU countries, officials told CNBC.
The Commission — the EU’s executive branch — is expected to present its “Tech Sovereignty Package” on May 27.
There have been increasing calls within Europe for the region’s most critical workloads to move away from U.S. cloud providers, which currently dominate the European market.
Seems like an excellent idea to reduced, or remove our exposure to toxic hyper-capitalism without boundaries.
Yes, hurry up, it is already too late. But it is better late than never.
With all these authoritarian things coming from the Trump admin, I honestly wonder why the EU still clings to the US and is so doubtful when it comes to going its own way. I am convinced that the US has colonial plans for Europe. Change my mind. Is the EU leadership füll of Transatlanticists, who still cling to the order if the past decades? Or do they think, that Europe will be whiped out as soon as the US pulls out? I honestly dont get it, please enlighten me.
Füll
Is there at least one real cloud provider in EU? I mean real cloud provider with good number of managed services like managed DB, messaging, k8s, serverless workloads, object storage, IAM, monitoring, secrets vault, multi-zone/regional deployments, API Gateway and so on? Like real cloud not just hosting with VMs and few templates for deploying open source software. This is what Europe needs, like decade ago
The only large company I know of that is working on large scale cloud implementation like this is Schwarz Group (Lidl). However, no idea when they will release this as a product.
