>For the past decade or so, our corporate infrastructure here in Europe has been beholden to a few prominent tech companies – mainly based in the United States of America. Namely – Microsoft, Google and Amazon (For Amazon Web Services, if you were wondering!) However, I think it is safe to say that our once reliable friend ‘across the pond’ has become a little bit less reliable and more volatile as of late. If Amazon, Microsoft and/or Google suddenly were to bolster up a pricing plan or cut off services all of a sudden, chaos will ensue. The nature of the internet was designed to be open and decentralised- so why have we sleepwalked into 30% of our internet being operated by Amazon, 21% being operated by Microsoft and 12% operated by Google?

Funny how it's called "digital sovereignty" now. I ranted against cloud services from Day One. Never trust any server you can't wrap your arms around. If you don't administrate the metal you can't ensure the safety of the data. Period. MBNA pencil heads sold on the economy of outsourcing IT expertise should be lined up against the wall and executed.

Never trust someone else's computer.
