Good to hear that tcloud is expanding their cloud capabilities. They are closing the gap with the American cloud providers

EUR 180M EU cloud tender introduces sovereignty scoring.

8 dimensions.
No provider reached full sovereignty.
Hyperscaler involvement lowers your score.

For Swiss orgs, this framework will matter soon.

Hetzner. Cloud and dedicated hosting from Gunzenhausen, Germany. Data centers in Germany and Finland.

A dedicated server for what US providers charge for a shared instance. Been around since 1997. No VC funding rounds, no "disrupting the cloud space" press releases. Just infrastructure that works.

AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud hold 70% of the European cloud market. All European cloud providers combined hold 15%.

SAP and Deutsche Telekom are Europe's largest cloud players. They hold 2% each.

We outsourced our digital infrastructure to three American companies and called it modernization.

Back from a whirlwind #KubeCon! 🚀

Started with a keynote at Open Sovereign Cloud Day: "EU Cloud Framework Explained." Overwhelmed by the response at the #SUSE booth!

Digital Sovereignty is the priority. My message to Open Source IT companies: join forces in #DOSBA or #APELL. We are stronger together! 🤝

Open Source & Digital Sovereignty go hand in hand! 🛠️

#AWS European Sovereign Cloud: hoe mooi de tekst ook geschreven is, op het einde van de dag is de vraag: wie kan aan je data. Als het iemand in de US is, dan hang je als #trump en co je willen hebben. Of ben ik mis?

1Password is increasing its price 30%. If I put in the effort to move, I will be motivated by shifting to something European or self-hosted, not price.

KeePassXC has one of the worst UIs I have encountered in the last decade, but seems capable, fully FOSS, and actively developed.

Any other recommendations or is Proton Pass my only other viable European, open source-ish (backend API is not FOSS) option?
