There’s no way this will happen any time soon.

I work at a billion-dollar EU company that’s balls deep in Azure after a very, very long migration away from on-prem datacenters.

Cutting off US-based cloud providers would be chaos of biblical proportions.



As many EU companies are. But it still looks like a lot of people responsible for risk-assessment didn't do their job properly...


Does this use case involve US data transfer? Azure seems to have invested quite a lot into implementing EU data residency.


Data residency isn't anywhere near sufficient.

The threat model is that the US government can either a) force the US-based employees of a US company to copy the data from EU to US and hand it to the US authorities, b) if not possible, force the US-based employees to order the EU-based employees in their reporting chain to copy the data from EU to US, or c) if not possible, order the company to circumvent any technical measures they have in place to make such copying of data impossible.
