EU weighs restricting use of US cloud platforms to process sensitive government data

The EU is weighing limits on US cloud platforms for processing sensitive government data.

The debate is part of a broader push for digital sovereignty and data residency in Europe.

Commenters question whether European providers can realistically replace AWS-scale services.

Names like Gaia-X, Hetzner, Scaleway, OVH, and UpCloud came up as potential alternatives.
