Comment on Estonian state trialing IT system free from US tech giants
eleitl@lemmy.zip 1 week agoYou can already deploy free/libre software to proprietary clouds, so that is not a blocker. What is missing is legislation preferring free/libre solutions to proprietary ones, and building up domestic workforce who can directly support them, rather than buying licenses for support of software downstream of open source projects from US vendors.
Cina does it, fat chance of EU being able to do a damn thing though. Particularly tiny, permanently subsidized demographically challenged countries like Estonia.

Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud

Looks good to me. But without at least some borderline functional (e.g. Hetzner, StackIt) sovereign domestic cloud vendors you’ve still got all your eggs in one US-owned bucket. Everybody knew that, but nobody cared until the rooster crowed.
