We talk a lot about our enormous dependence on American clouds, but what exactly are we talking about? And is Europe equally dependent on all types of cloud? This article is aimed at policy makers, but it may also provide some clarity about the broader landscape to actual cloud users. The six levels of cloud:

Thanks for your great work, but there is no need for a new definition of 'cloud' or 'cloud native'. Good definitions exist - and are used by governments/organizations worldwide:
- Cloud : csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/145/
- Cloud native: github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/ learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotn aws.amazon.com/what-is/cloud-n

CSRC | NIST · NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-145, The NIST Definition of Cloud ComputingCloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.

@tijl I suggest actually working with government policy makers and developers. These definitions mean nothing to them. And tbh they also mean very little to me. I can’t buy anything like this. But I’ll add a link at the beginning. These silly “official” definitions are why we have this problem.

Apologies, I didn't understand your context. The problem with simplifying for policymakers/devs is that they then actually believe it is that simple... I'd advise finding a rich metaphor in a domain most people are already intimate with, like transportation: taxi (SaaS) vs multi-modal public transport (PaaS) vs leasecar (IaaS).
