Multi-cloud is simple, just don't use anything that's unique to a particular provider. (Losing weight is simple, just eat fewer calories than you burn.)
It's a post by Scaleway (from 2022). Now which cloud provider has a huge interest in offering their customers true "multi-cloud capabilities"? I guess the criticism of GAIA-X is fair as it is probably a multi-million euro deadend (or the usual kind of hidden subsidies to the huge players). I can't figure from the blog post what Scaleway does in terms of "multi-cloud offering" apart from the fact they are taking part in EUCLIDIA.
From Bert Hubert's post: "The actual and official Gaia-X product is a set of standards so we can communicate about (as yet to be written) cloud/data standards. This is two steps removed from being useful - not a cloud, not a standard for a cloud, but a way to exchange authenticated data about standards compliance." - <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/gaia-x-is-an-expensive-distraction/" rel="nofollow">https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/gaia-x-is-an-expensive-dis...</a><p>This is such a European way of approaching problems. We were colonized by them, and this kind of vapor work reigns in all their ex colonies.
"The first few months of GAIA-X’s existence were characterized by a significant lack of understanding about its scope and objectives"<p>This feels like a commitment to misunderstanding.<p>A cloud's objective is only to acquire, and deeply retain customers including making switching cost and efforts unbearable.
