To me this is like saying that it is no use trying to prevent your arm from being cut off because if you try you will lose a finger.

What use is american cloud reliability if it can't be trusted in with sovereignty the first place?

This sovereignty debate is the dumbest thing I’ve heard, like a country can be sovereign, but Europe is not a country. It’s like saying Asia is going to be so sovereign. We all saw how the unity of Europe with brexit.

Update: migration to EU cloud is in progress:

Did you even read the article? It says

> To live up to its claim of being a sovereign payment service, Wero intends to reduce its dependence on non-European cloud providers in the future.

They haven't even started any migration, rather future topic without any deadline.

Also the article states that

> When EPI first launched Wero, only cloud services from international providers could deliver the performance, security and stability needed to deliver a competitive solution

and that's is still true to this day, like what EU cloud provider is on the same level as AWS?

Yes, and I read till the end. The article quotes a presse statement in which they say:

„EPI is currently working to reduce its dependency on non-European suppliers. The market has evolved significantly in recent years, and we are now building on this progress to drive this transition forward.“
