European Cloud Providers (CISPE): No Such Thing as “75% Sovereign” (www.cispe.cloud)

A cloud service is either sovereign or it’s not – just as food is either organic or it’s not. You can’t be 75% organic, and you shouldn’t be 75% sovereign either. Yet that’s exactly the confusion created by the European Commission’s new EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework. [...]

In practice, most European cloud service providers are likely to score lower than foreign hyperscalers under this system – perhaps that’s the idea – preserving the status quo under a cloak of “sovereignty.” The message seems to be: can’t comply with European ownership and control requirements? Never mind – make up the numbers through investment or participation in EU schemes.

CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe) is the trade association and lobbying group for infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud providers in Europe.

Excuse my french, but that sounds weak and half arsed, at least at a first glance.

But on the other hand this is a start to get going, or? If you aim at 100% at the beginning you might loose people who are already invested all together. So aiming at 75% could be read as an invitation and incentive.
