The EU is replicating this architecture at policy level. The SEAL framework permits "non-European technologies" to provide sovereign cloud. S3NS (Thales-Google) is the concrete example.

Control plane ownership is the distinction between sovereignty and servitude.

You can diversify your compute. You can move infrastructure. But if a vendor still controls your orchestration layer—the thing that decides which services run where—you're still completely dependent on them.

The Control Plane Trap: Why Partial Sovereignty Is No Sovereignty

Railway.com kept their control plane with Google Cloud after moving workloads elsewhere. Google suspended the account without warning. The EU is replicating this architecture at policy level. Control plane ownership is the real sovereignty question.

The Register confirms what we wrote to the EC in 2020 and 2023:

digital sovereignty on Intel ME / AMD PSP silicon is fiction.

RISAA 2024 + Ring -3 = secret FISA orders below the hypervisor.

EU's answer: 2B EUR for "sovereign clouds" on US silicon, while forgetting about the processors.
