Not unsurprising. At work (Germany) we are forbidden to use any US cloud services, i wonder why this hasn't been the new normal yet.

- andrewmutz 4y agoSounds like great news for home-grown German alternatives to US cloud services. And bad news for the competitiveness of all other German companies.
- arlcode 4y agoMuch of German business is in B2B, engineering and manufacturing. Many cloud offerings are not required if your product is physical and/or not directed at consumers. For others there are home grown alternative. But it'll suck for a few businesses until GDPR compliment products are available. The big one is Office 365 but, I think Microsoft is setting up licensing agreements where a European company (which is not a subsidiary of MS) is running the stack and Microsoft has no direct access. Other large US companies are probably planing sth similar
