On the top of that EU companies looking at the EU historically bad legislation bodies to achieve "protection" against US based tech companies instead of innovating. There is not a single company in the EU that could build S3 today. If there was such company we could have a cloud that uses S3 as storage and any computation platform to run most of the workload running on US based cloud companies today. There are several OSS software components that can be deployed on Nomad or k8s and have a solid infra just with these two. (I am leaving out IAM/AAA, obviously). Sure this is not the convenience level of AWS/Azure/GCP but at least a start that you can build on and if the EU is serious about it turn it into a real EU based cloud provider. Once you start to add additional services (for example TiDB, Presto, Kafka or even Qemu/Firecracker/KVM) you can build a cloud that has the best offerings of the hyperscalers. Instead, the whole EU tech scene is hiring lawyers to pressure the EU to ban US based cloud computing. Somehow we lost our way in the EU and innovation happens in the US and in China. https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/opinion/gaia-x-a-trojan-horse-for-big-tech-in-europe/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/opinion/gaia-x-a-tr...
