With Europe looking for replacements for Visa and MasterCard too, the Trump regime will have caused historical damage to America's economy. While filling his own pockets.

To be fair, Europe been slowly moving away and selling critical assets to China for a while now

What an ephemeral solution.

Very few solutions are not ephemeral

It's a joke on the headline phrasing of moving everything to a single "French cloud".

It’s a joke on the headline phrasing

Yeah, but cut him some slack. SO MANY people wouldn't get that it's "a French Cloud-provider"

These are the people who put an S on 'electronic mail' and two Xes in 'maxing'.

Good. The US's only hope for the future is if tech companies float the whole economy themselves. So every customer lost is a good thing for the world.

They have a long way to go, it's not just AWS, they also use Google Workspace and Github.

Good. The current IS administration has shown themselves to be entirely corrupt and capricious.

Of Boeing donates to Trump there’s no saying the FAA won’t ground all airbus planes, or they won’t force AWS to drop Airbus.

I work for a really small company (20 people) that uses AWS. We discussed moving off and concluded it would be a multi year effort. I can't even imagine how much work this would involve

So it’s working as intended. It’s always been the Hotel Cloudifonia.

I'm currently pushing to move away from AWS as well. Just for pricing reeasons

Yeah, it's insane what it costs. We spend about $20k/month and that's after a big oush to reduce costs.

I'm sure that's tiny compared to many but like I said we're only about 20 employees.

It's pervasive as well, all those SasS products are probably running on AWS or one of the other big ones and so their cloud bill is baked into the prices. You end up paying them a dozen different ways.
