Sure, that'll be easy! Just clone the repos from GitHub, wait... oh no. We'll just deploy it to AWS... wait... IAM is in US East 1 only. Dammit. Okay, fine,

  Just yesterday I applied for several job postings for building European Sovereign Cloud at AWS as well as other companies doing a similar thing. The tariff disaster was a global wake-up moment. Don't expect all of these things to remain US-only. BTW Europe is already the center of the Internet at layer 3. Servers are cheaper in Europe. Bandwidth is cheaper in Europe. So I assume all those services, especially the free ones, are only hosted in the US because of latency or national pride.

  You live in a bubble and you think that just because you use American products (GitHub owned by MS, AWS and the rest) the rest of the world does too. Why don't you have a look at Asia (and it doesn't even have to be China, it can be Japan too)? Most major Asian companies have clones of the software stack that you mentioned and do not rely on it as much as you think. These days there are (luckily) alternatives to American products, and this American-first ideology will only accelerate the speed at which the rest of the world will switch to alternative ones.
