Europe's Self Inflicted Cloud Crisis - Bert Hubert's writings berthub.eu
The short version For decades, governments and organizations could run services based on servers we actually owned. These days, we’ve allowed the IT world to convince us no computing is possible outside of US-style clouds, for which we have no European equivalents. And because of this conviction, we are now moving our most precious data and most critical services to US controlled servers. Yet most of European government software still runs on locally owned systems.
Bert always nails it, also with this article. Europe has to work on sovereign services.
