Lidl's Cloud Gambit: Europe's Shift to Sovereign Computing

Deutsche Telekom hosted Microsoft Office 365 for some years in Germany as a German cloud offering.

I think this was the press release: https://www.telekom.com/de/medien/medieninformationen/detail...

This was a Microsoft 365 cloud hosted and operated by Deutsche Telekom in Germany. It was more expensive than the global version and had less features. It often took some years till new features were introduced.

They stopped this offering some years ago, I think they did not get as many customers as they expected, most of the German customers used the global version.

Open Telekom Cloud is a whitelabeled AWS, so they are still doing this, but with other technologies.

This press release from 2020 says Open Telekom Cloud is from Software and Hardware from Huawei.

Do you have any source that they switched to AWS?

I’ve used it, it’s a rebranded openstack, not aws.

They built it on OpenStack as a clone of AWS offerings

And it’s not actually too far off; couple rough edges, managed k8s is shit but everything mostly works (rds, ec2, s3, iam, ebs etc)
