Giving cloud hosts the status of Data Controllers This is a bold move, and much more significant than some attempt at standardisation that probably won't work.

Giving cloud hosts the status of Data Controllers This is a bold move, and much more significant than some attempt at standardisation that probably won't work. It will make it more expensive to hire a VM, probably, and I wonder if there will indeed be any benefit (given that cloud providers will have to start vetting and inspecting the source code on the VMs people are running - potentially taking away all the benefits of programmatic instance deployment.)
