I think the idea is companies that do not have a conflict of interest with the US. Although Microsoft claims their data in European data centers can not be given to the US government the US government doesn't see it that way and there are court cases being fought over this.
- speedgoose 5y agoMicrosoft can claim whatever they want, they must respect the USA law.

Edit: They may have changed that, it's a Deutsche Telekom company that managed the physical access, that seems a little pointless, if everything is available via the internet.
- speedgoose 5y agoI don't know, but it could be one of these older deals in which local companies could operate some kind of Azure datacenters. We had one like this in Norway with Evry before it stopped and got replaced by two Azure datacenters operated by Microsoft.
