☁️ But how to get to that European cloud? - Bert Hubert's writings

「 Another risk factor is the confusion between open, standardized, and autonomous. Many hardcore technologists firmly believe that federated, open, standardized systems are the solution. And to some extent, they are right. But having such technologies available is only a necessary condition—it’s not a solution in itself. Just because the technical prerequisites are met doesn’t mean a market will automatically emerge 」

@jbz perhaps Europe puts import tarrifs on IT services imported from outside Europe... due to 'national security' of course but it actually being a truthful statement.

But how to get to that European cloud? - Bert Hubert's writings

The very short version: It has now become clear that European governments can no longer rely on American clouds, and that we lack good and comprehensive alternatives. Market forces have failed to deliver a truly European cloud, and businesses won’t naturally buy as yet unproven cloud services, even when adorned with a beautiful European 🇪🇺 flag, so for now nothing will happen. This article is part of a series of posts on (European) cloud challenges.
