Situations where cloud renting is cost effective for medium or large companies are vanishingly rare, and always have been. As with so many big tech patterns […]

De 'soevereine' cloud is vaak een illusie: zo blijven we afhankelijk van de VS Wordt soevereiniteit hét techwoord van 2026? Loskomen van de VS is lastig, maar in 2025 draaide de wind en kwamen Europese clouds eindelijk in zicht.

Op @tweakers.net staat een artikel over #DigitalSovereignty

Ze schrijven: 'Soevereine clouds ontstaan niet vanzelf en zijn dan niet gegarandeerd blijvend soeverein.'

Dus we (wij, jij, de regering, Brussel,..) kunnen het beste zo snel mogelijk een plan maken voor een eventuele #BigTech #CloudExit

The Great Cloud Exit Revisited: Why 42% Are Pulling Back, and What’s Next The Cloud Isn’t Forever.... For more than a decade, the prevailing narrative in enterprise IT was a one-way journey: up and into the cloud. Businesses rushed to adopt AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud in pursuit of promises of agility, elasticity, and economies of scale. The notion of moving back out of the cloud was almost heretical—why would anyone abandon the future?

Cloud exit isn’t failure — it’s evolution. With 42% of businesses planning partial pullbacks, it’s time to investigate the motivations, architectures, and next-phase hybrid patterns. #CloudExit #Azure #AWS #CloudDailywire

Cloud ist auch heute wieder ein Thema. So hat @adfichter die schwierigen Schweizer Beziehungen zwischen Bund und (US-)Hyperscalern aufgezeigt.

Und natürlich sind da auch Lock-in und Exitstrategien (endlich!) ein Thema.

Genau das richtige für einen Tag ohne geschäftliche Termine 😎 […]

@ecb.europa.eu I ask again: are you revising the cloud exit readiness requirements for European financial institutions?

I would recommend you add a requirement for every workload to have documented exit test carried out with significant data payloads.

With #Australia PM Anthony Albanese encouraging Aussie goods and services, now's a great time to look at non-US tech stacks and services

#Proxmox #Opensource #cloudexit

@ecb.europa.eu are you currently reviewing Cloud related recommendations, specifically political and service continuity risks?

It seems to me previous recommendations did not address politically inspired risks, merely technical and procedural aspects.

As #TrumpAuthoritarianism looms, is your #CloudExit plan ready? Ditching #Microsoft or #Google for sovereign tools isn’t paranoia – it’s #DigitalResistance. #TechExodus meets #FascismAlert. #EncryptOrFight before it’s too late.

🌍 Recent events have me rethinking where we store data. With shifting US-EU relations, relying solely on American cloud providers feels riskier than ever.

Is it time for your org to explore European alternatives? Let’s talk exit strategies.

How are you preparing? 👇

#CloudExit raus aus #Azure - Ein Rant.
Erst erhöht MS massiv die Preise und cuttet die Leistungen. Jeder Krams darf jetzt eigens Lizensiert werden.
Beispiel: In Office E5 war vorher ALLES drin. Office Software, OneDrive, Exchange Online 1 TB bla bla.

One of our customers shared the savings achieved from the "Hyperscaler exit" to Hetzner Cloud we did this year.

Overall, their annual costs are now down to about €10,000, compared to over €50,000 per year before the migration with some peak months even more expensive.
