Comment on Opening the AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Comments

I can see two problems with this.

1) It's hard to imagine AWS "EU" not complying with requests from the US administration. Even if we exclude clandestine requests based on the fact that the US doesn't respect sovereignty, imagine they ban, say, the export of cloud orchestration technologies just like they restricted GPU exports, including to the EU.

2) It's easy to imagine AWS "EU" trying to comply with all local EU laws and regulations which either brings the cloud to a halt or makes the usage of it impractical. Say, no AI models deployed until seven-years mandatory Environmental Impact Study has been performed. Or something along these lines.
