Re:Lidl to Launch Rival to AWS on Tuesday May 12, 2020 @03:44AM (#23151472)
Not saying Schwarz (the parent company) won't try and run their own cloud provider, but I doubt the acquisition has much to do with that at all.

Also, the german link above doesn't even mention the acquisition and the german source for the english article (from "Lebensmittel Zeitung") doesn't talk about "cloud specialists" either.

CAMAO IDC is a software development company (who knows how to use the cloud), they're not "cloud specialists" in the sense that they know how to run a cloud provider.
