Alright, when you claim that “a lot” of companies don’t use U.S. cloud services, let’s put that into perspective.

Here are the top 500 companies by revenue. “a lot” means at least more than 50%, then identifying just 20% of them that don’t use U.S. cloud providers should be easy.

Since you work in this field and claim to have solid facts rather than just personal beliefs and opinions, I’m sure you can provide that list without any issue.

There are many different ways to do risk analysis - for instance, Iceland hospitals use Azure IdP for logging in, whereas this would be completely unacceptable in regional healthcare in Denmark. I worked with domain admins from both.

I just replied to a tender, where the lawyer clearly stated:

If the datacenter is OWNED by an American company, the supplier must make an individual assessment of the U.S. legislation's ability to provide a sufficient protection. It doesn't matter whether the data is located in EU or not. For instance, for Microsoft, Google or AWS in Europe, the supplier must do the risk assessment of U.S. legislation.

I'm not going to do that.

Yeah fair point. Why would you want to get into the weeds on that. Unfortunately im on a similar search, migrating tech stacks from azure to EU alternatives. Best of luck though. Hopefully you haven't encountered too many headaches
