Cern has more than enough folks that have run systems that are harder to run cloud scale compute.

Even if running a DC is rocket science (it isn't), it is no particle physics.

The EU should absolutely have its own homegrown tech stack, from silicon to billing. I'd start with an EU run internet backbone and federated object storage in each member state.

CERN still runs on openstack for the non-specialised projects, I believe. They do improve the project, but it's not their own solution.

I can't see Gaia-x mentioning a ready solution anywhere and it seems very secret and proprietary for a project that's meant to be transparent, federated, and lunching end of this year. (Unless I missed something?)
