@bert_hubert I love these comparative analogies between sectors, they enable reasoning around topics that otherwise seem too one-of-a-kind.
My hunch is that "cloud" in its current hyperscale incarnation is a lost cause but the broader objective of digital sovereignty is anything but. The objective would be to leapfrog into the next design by identifying cloud failures (e.g. gaming) and more viable economic models. Europe needs a sophisticated digital "mittelstand" to match the industrial one.
