Bundeswehr setzt auf Google-Cloud

Für die "private Cloud der Bundeswehr" steht nun ein Vertragspartner fest – sie kommt von Google. Zwei Cloud-Instanzen sollen entstehen.

Despite the supposed “air gapped” setup, I find it highly questionable to throw money at a US company for such a critical infrastructure, which will then be used behind the scenes by the US government to finance campaigns against Europe’s integrity. In addition, they are making themselves dependent on support from an American company.

    Welcome to Merz. Germany was working on separating themselves from US software until Trump’s greatest fan became Chancellor.

      Merz certainly cannot be expected to work against US monopolies — on the contrary. The man is more of a professional lobbyist and, among other things, was chairman of the supervisory board of Black Rock Germany until 2020—he is a walking conflict of interest.

        Exactly. The things we need are contrary to his beliefs. Healthcate, affordable homes and food for all are socialist ideas.

        Vote theleft in local elections and join a union.

      Germany is a huge supporter of Open Source development with https://www.sovereign.tech/. Ministries are quite autonomous and in this case the defence ministry made a dumb decision. Doesn’t surprise me that this ministry in particular is not led by the brightest people.
