Best of LinkedIn: Cloud Insights CW 49/ 50

We curate most relevant posts about Cloud Insights on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition primarily focuses on the evolving landscape of cloud computing, with a strong emphasis on digital sovereignty and security in Europe. Several posts announce strategic partnerships (e.g., SUSE/evroc) and the launch of European sovereign cloud offerings (e.g., AWS European Sovereign Cloud, SAP's EU AI Cloud, and Elysium) aimed at providing local control and compliance, especially against the backdrop of US legal jurisdiction over data. Furthermore, the content addresses the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on infrastructure, noting that AI growth is outpacing current capabilities, demanding a shift to hybrid architectures, and creating new challenges related to cost management and energy consumption. Finally, the sources explore the necessity of FinOps (cloud financial operations) for efficient spending and highlight that cloud cost is now considered a shared business problem, not solely an IT one.
