To me this is like saying that it is no use trying to prevent your arm from being cut off because if you try you will lose a finger. What use is american cloud reliability if it can't be trusted in with sovereignty the first place?

  Did you even read the article? It says > To live up to its claim of being a sovereign payment service, Wero intends to reduce its dependence on non-European cloud providers in the future. They haven't even started any migration, rather future topic without any deadline. Also the article states that > When EPI first launched Wero, only cloud services from international providers could deliver the performance, security and stability needed to deliver a competitive solution and that's is still true to this day, like what EU cloud provider is on the same level as AWS?

    Yes, and I read till the end. The article quotes a presse statement in which they say: „EPI is currently working to reduce its dependency on non-European suppliers. The market has evolved significantly in recent years, and we are now building on this progress to drive this transition forward.“
