I do wish EC pulls this off. It would great having an actual home-grown competitor to cloud providers. EU does data protection better than anyone else, this would very much be a symbiotic relationship.

    Europe does not have the best of track records when it comes to cloud and IT projects. Gaia-X, a project to provide a federated and secure infrastructure, was proposed in 2019. As of 2023, it remains a work in progress.

    Yeah, when I saw the title, I thought that this announcement was about Gaia-X, which sounded similar.

      This actually doesn’t sound so bad for a large project but I am fairly certain it was proposed earlier than 2019.

      Gaia-X was such a typical conservative project it’s even funny: deny reality and put the responsibility of policy makers on businesses.

      If it would have been a good idea, private entities would have already started doing it. European tech didn’t need ideological inspiration by politics, but funding. Money. They need money.
