Towards a true multi-cloud offering to deliver on broken promises

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&#x27;s post: &quot;The actual and official Gaia-X product is a set of standards so we can communicate about (as yet to be written) cloud&#x2F;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.&quot; - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;berthub.eu&#x2F;articles&#x2F;posts&#x2F;gaia-x-is-an-expensive-distraction&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;berthub.eu&#x2F;articles&#x2F;posts&#x2F;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.

This is from 2022, any idea what eventually happen with it? Does anyone care about OpenStack any more?

&quot;Cloud by Committee&quot; - sort of a predictable outcome

The article seems a little out of sync with the title.

&quot;The first few months of GAIA-X’s existence were characterized by a significant lack of understanding about its scope and objectives&quot;<p>This feels like a commitment to misunderstanding.<p>A cloud&#x27;s objective is only to acquire, and deeply retain customers including making switching cost and efforts unbearable.
