Little experiment with Spring Cloud Functions on Scaleway Function Containers. Project supports two docker builds. JVM JAR based and GraalVM Native based. On a very cheap container the spin up of the JVM Docker took 42!! seconds and the GraalVM only took 396 ms with half of the memory consumption. Great success.

See https://codeberg.org/pbrunier/SpringFunctionHelloWorld if you want to experiment.

SpringFunctionHelloWorld

A little Spring Boot / Spring Cloud Function Kotlin project using Maven and Docker. Build targets (JAR and GraalVM Native) are runnable localy, on Scaleway Function Containers and probably any other Docker compatible container service.

Dutch central bank chooses Lidl for European Cloud

De Nederlandsche Bank will sign a major contract tomorrow with Schwarz Digits, the IT arm of Lidl owner Schwarz Group. DNB aims to reduce its dependence

What European sovereign cloud actually needs:

- Encrypted disks in VMs by default
- Proper key management (not a hosted secret store)
- Workload identity across providers

Not: the 47th S3-compatible object store or yet another FaaS platform.

Just a reminder that there are European-sovereign alternatives to the three major US cloud providers. To name a few: OVHCloud, Scaleaway, Outscale, Hetzner, and STACKIT. The latter was recently selected as an infrastructure provider for the Dutch National Bank while Outscale is partnering with Mistral AI. #EU #cloud #eusovereignity #europeancloud #aws #gcp #azure #stackit

CISPE called it "sovereignty washing." That's the right term.

Sovereignty Washing: How the European Commission Bought a Label and Called It a Policy

The European Commission announced last week that it has awarded four contracts under its sovereign cloud procurement framework, covering up to €180 million of cloud services for EU institutions over six years.

Commission advances cloud sovereignty through strategic procurement

This April, the European Commission awarded its Sovereign Cloud call for tender through which the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (Union entities) will be able to procure sovereign cloud services for up to EUR 180 million over a period of 6 years.

My talk about #dataengineering in the #Europeancloud at #pyconaustria2026 is going to be fun. I've tried multiple European #cloudproviders to see if they got what I need. I built a #datalakehouse at @scaleway and I'll show you what that looks like. We'll have a look at Leafcloud, a Dutch cloud provider. And I'll show you the new Data Platform at @OVHcloud
My talk is Monday at 10:00 in room HS2. Hope to see you there.

Eventually, once the #EuroStack is fully operational, I suspect the UK will move its sensitive data to #EuropeanCloud.

At one thing became clear:
AI is no longer just a technology wave it is an infrastructure race. And that has direct implications for Europe.

🚀 STACKIT NVIDIA #GTC26 At one thing became clear: AI is no longer just a technology wave it is an infrastructure race. And that has direct implications for Europe. ➡️ What this means for hyperscalers We are entering the decade of AI-native infrastructure: - Inference at scale becomes core - Data locality and compliance become critical - Control over the full stack becomes a competitive advantage The hyperscaler model is evolving from global scale alone to sovereign, specialized, and regionally anchored cloud ecosystems. STACKIT is building exactly for this next phase. As a European hyperscaler, our focus is clear: ✔️ Sovereign cloud infrastructure aligned with European regulation ✔️ Trusted environment for sensitive data and AI workloads ✔️ Scalable platform for enterprise AI adoption ✔️ Independence in a rapidly consolidating global market Because in the AI era, infrastructure equals strategic autonomy. Europe has the opportunity — and responsibility — to shape its own digital backbone. #GTC26 reinforced our conviction: The future of AI in Europe will not just be built on models, but on who provides the infrastructure they run on. https://lnkd.in/du4Hmp3b #STACKIT #NVIDIAGTC #AI #Cloud #Hyperscaler #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanCloud #STACKIT #SCHWARZGRUPPE #SCHWARZDIGITS Schwarz Digits
