I'm not no sure. 90%+ of these services are commodities and nobody gives a damn who the provider is from a technical perspective. There's no physical component, so it's literally a matter of signing a contract, spinning up a server/service, move the data and point everything to the new service.

And yeah, there are technical issues that come up, and nothing is ever that easy. But think about how fast many, many companies were able to sort that kind stuff out when the had to when COVID hit.

And that's the thing. Cloud service disruption can be an existential crisis, so why would you leave it in the hands of a hostile foreign power?

He'll, if the requirements were gender neutral, then every astronaut would be a woman based on weight alone.

Buy Canadian is best, but anything will do if it isn't American.

We had a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 way back when. It had a very clever clock. Whenever you moved it forward, it figured that it had been running slow, so it would run a little bit faster.

So, very cool, eventually the clock would get more and more accurate overtime.

Except...DST. A one hour adjustment. It would just be getting back to accurate 6 months later. Rinse and repeat....

Nobody in the corner offices, or any the BoD's of these companies cares about any of that technical stuff. They see this as an existential risk to their companies. Imagine being cut off from your entire computing environment, including your data, without any warning.

Cost and tooling aren't going to be a factor. I would be very surprised if every CIO in Europe hasn't been tasked with putting together a plan to get off American cloud services ASAP.
