AWS/GCP/Azure are very keen on keeping the business in Europe, so they have European datacenters, try to keep them GDPR-and-other-laws-compilant, and will even sign a legally binding agreement with you swearing to keep all data on EU servers only.
- speedgoose 5y agoYeah they do that. But at the same time they have the patriot act law to respect, and the European privacy shield is dead. So right now it's challenging to know whether using Azure is GDPR compliant or not. Most people I talked with on this topic think it's probably not compliant, but they prefer to wait and pay a fine if necessary as they are not lawyers.
- kall 5y agoThe Azure service fully operated by Deutsche Telekom seems pretty appealing right about now, but as far as I know they cancelled that. Maybe cloud providers will move to a kind of franchise model, effectively allowing smaller European companies to license an Outposts type software.
