Just to highlight that OP was (rightly) talking about business consumers.
As a business, under GDPR I am responsible for the compliance of my subcontractors (which includes Google Cloud or Azure for instance). I read about this Google blunder and I think that I have other sh*t to worry about than how Google is screwing around with my data. On the other hand, Microsoft has demonstrated time and again that they care about their customers’ data. 2 examples: the fight with the DoJ over access to emails stored in Ireland and the fact they subcontract Azure’s operations in Germany to a German company (to avoid having to hand over the keys to the data center to a 3-letter agency: they literally don’t have them).
- tpetry 8y agoThe german azure location is a joke. Only the most basic services are available, there are so many missing in germany...
- etaioinshrdlu 8y agoMaybe they aren't competing on technical competency but regulatory competency? It's a valid strategy.
