“You don’t need a DEA warrant or a Justice Department subpoena to see the trend: Europe’s 90‑plus‑percent dependency on US cloud infrastructure, as former European Commission advisor Cristina Caffarra put it, is a single‑shock‑event security nightmare waiting to rupture the EU’s digital stability.”

    Our company still relies 100% on Azure and probably won’t switch anytime soon. Azure has now opened a partnership with an EU company to share code with them in case of a hostile government takeover (idea being that they could rebuild the cloud in the EU). This obviously purely symbolic and completely impractical measure was still enough for our company to cancel all plans to migrate away from Azure. It’s frustrating.
