Airbus just kicked Amazon out

The video taps into the growing concern around data sovereignty and the geopolitical implications of cloud infrastructure. By highlighting Airbus's move away from AWS and the limitations of current alternatives, it creates a sense of urgency and relevance for businesses considering their cloud strategy. The introduction of a new, European-owned alternative like Office.eu adds a potential solution to the problem, making the content valuable and shareable.

Airbus is moving critical applications off AWS to a French cloud provider, Scaleway, citing concerns about data sovereignty and US government access. However, the video highlights that most of Airbus's suppliers use Microsoft, meaning data would still end up on US servers via Microsoft Teams. The speaker suggests that the enterprise productivity software market is dominated by Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with few viable alternatives. A new European-owned productivity suite, Office.eu, has launched, aiming to provide a sovereign cloud solution, though it's not yet ready for a company the size of Airbus.
