Working on the next article in my #AWS Ops series, and one little section is a little spicier than the rest…

### Long-lived resources need a long-lived tool

Some of your Organization-scoped resources are going to last a long time. For example your management account is likely to exist for as long your company does! And certain resources, like your database for human users, and centralized auditing tools, may well live as long.

There's a tension here between multi-year-lifetime resources and what can be, frankly, the "IaC tool of the week". In other words, don't manage crucial org-wide resources that could live for a decade using a tool that might not make it until next year.

Continued thread

Google, Amazon og andre amerikanske giganter er underlagt de samme love.

Det her handler ikke kun om teknologi – det handler om Europas uafhængighed.

Som digitaliseringsminister Dirk Schrödter i Slesvig-Holsten siger:
👉 Vi gør os politisk, økonomisk og samfundsmæssigt sårbare, når vi bliver digitalt afhængige.

Det er en vækkerklokke.

"Microsoft kann US-Zugriff auf EU-Cloud nicht verhindern"

Das gilt in der EU aber auch für europäische Regierungen und für SAP und T-Online mit großem Business in den USA.

Die sind schon bei den Diversitäts Programmen umgefallen. Ihr glaubt doch nicht, dass die ernsthaftem Druck aus den USA standhalten.

Surprise! (Although it really shouldn’t be a surprise.) European data is not as secure from US government access as the French government and others may have thought.

“Microsoft France's legal director conceded under sworn testimony that the company cannot guarantee French citizen data stored in EU datacenters remains protected from US agency access.”

“The testimony contradicts years of Microsoft's security assurances regarding European data hosting. Despite implementing encryption and technical safeguards, the company acknowledged that US legislation ultimately supersedes protective measures when federal agencies issue valid data requests.”

“Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and other hyperscale providers operate under identical legal frameworks, potentially exposing European data to extraterritorial access. The testimony suggests widespread vulnerability in European digital infrastructure built on American technological foundations.”

Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? european-alternatives.eu/alter

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. tipalti.com/resources/learn/st
