Europe and European governments can no longer rely on American clouds. A European alternative won’t emerge on its own. That’s why it’s time for industrial policy—but it won’t be easy.
In this post, I explore the challenges and immodestly propose a coherent strategy to develop European alternatives: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/now-how-to-get-that-european-cloud/
@bert_hubert All this cloud stuff is over complicating things. Just hire a furry and give em a budget for a few servers, problem solved.
@KitsuneVixi actually no.
@bert_hubert @KitsuneVixi I understand the short answer, but I also think the service model is taken for granted too often, as if it’s the only possible solution to each problem. Do we really need a Cloudflare alternative to provide (D)DOS protection as a service, or could you expect from a server admin to at least understand how to implement a bloody WAF. Services create unnecessary dependency (QED), centralized risks and often add complexity, instead of solving it
