Meanwhile, my employer(one of the largest European companies) is betting more and more on Azure services :|

Meanwhile the us is exiting its alliances with world leaders and moving to privatize everything

I love this.

I also think that the EU should prohibit PII from being stored in the cloud where there isn’t a 100% guarantee that this data won’t leave Europe without the explicit consent of the organisation storing it. Starting with governments in 2030 (or something) and then expanding this to private companies.

Need to store PII? Then it’s on prem or an EU cloud provider. Nothing else.

I’m willing to accept exceptions as long as they are periodically reviewed and a plan exists exit the situation.

Meanwhile, actual government organizations have successfully made the switch without all this performative bullshit.

It’s gonna be realized in the year of Linux desktops when fusion reactors reach prodiction readiness.
