@j12t@j12t.social Yeah but what if you *consume* these services?
For example, we use Microsoft Azure Blob Storage to store documents. Of course we store these in North Europe, based in Ireland in the EU. It is fast, robust, and protected through GDPR. It integrates with our software through REST APIs and to end users there is no difference between On Premises and Cloud Storage, functionality wise.
Microsoft is covered by the CLOUD Act, though. To remove THAT risk, what EU based provider do we use instead?

@rozeboosje@masto.ai As a buyer of cloud services, what I'd do is publish the fact that you would like to buy from a European cloud service, here are the parameters, basically a public RFP, and then find lots of other buyers in the same position who say the same thing. If you aggregate enough potential orders for basically the same product, I'd be very surprised if you didn't have some product-adjacent EU provider say "we can do this".
