Google is doing this. German and French companies are building a datacenter to GCP standards, will license the code and run essentially whitelabel GCP under full jurisdiction of the EU company. Google can only push updates with their approval and has no visibility into the operations.

- vasco 2y agoIsn't this how all the hyperscalers already run in China?
- alephnerd 2y agoYes. Though they increasingly own management as well. At this point Azure in China and AWS in China is a reskin around Tencent Cloud.
- trevyn 2y agoThis is actually quite funny. A sovereign cloud that they have no f-ing clue how to maintain without the mothership.
- progbits 2y agoThey get documentation and playbooks (which are pretty good), source code access, and of course direct channel to the "mothership" engineers for support. I'm sure early days will be painful but there is no reason for this not to work.
- trevyn 2y agoSure, as long as the mothership exists and is cooperative, it’s fine. But that’s not actually very sovereign, is it?
