The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.
I work in data engineering, European cloud providers do not seem to be able to provide alternatives to managed data warehouses like Google Big Query or Snowflake.
It’s hard to compete against the mega buck providers, however if there is suddenly political willingness to buy locally then there are vendors that can build the capability. They’ll only do so if it is likely to be profitable though. Chicken / egg conundrum that the EU and national govts can help solve

Can’t or don’t ?
