They're not wrong. But, people's tolerance for failure is low, and starting to match existing service levels will demand more cost (-one kind of failure) or risk (the bigger one) of data loss.
I very much hope this survives the first significant failure.
- palata 11mo agoMaybe it depends on the framing. In the past when it was a question of costs, it was harder to justify. But now I think more and more people see it as a problem of sovereignty. Everybody does protectionism. People in the US most definitely wouldn't want to be in the situation of Europe and largely support protectionism (see Huawei, TikTok, DJI). Europe is behind, but maybe people start to realise that it's not so great to have that level of dependence on [here the US], and maybe they will be more tolerant.
- notKilgoreTrout 11mo agoI think its getting clearer that much of the cloud uptime/safety has been luck and a lack of true hostility. If China were in a posture like the hermit state it would have deleted Microsoft cloud data wholesale and the US based firm would have focused it's energy on restoring its priority customers. I wouldn't bank on the US not getting that hostility out of China in the next 3 years.

"Nice datacenter you have. Such a pity that it has ... connection problems. ". Microsoft is moving everything in the cloud. (Takes popcorn) EU is doing the same. Some people never learn.
