So it’s worth the risk to work with a big cloud provider even though they’re a US company that may introduce changes to your costing. That seems reasonable.
What I’m wondering is from a data ownership perspective if the idea of a sovereign cloud is just marketing bluster. I don’t think I buy that, even though this is an assumption on my part. Surely the EU and other Fortune 500 companies would understand that the US could just request data and this not give credence to the idea that sovereign clouds are actually sovereign if they are still exposed. Unless the idea of a sovereign cloud is only supposed to refer to the fact that all of the infra and operations are within the country’s jurisdiction, in which case it’s a matter of defining terms.
