European Cloud Sovereignty

The idea

The book reframes cloud sovereignty as a degree of interdependent capabilities — human, economic, technological, industrial and institutional — rather than a hosting label or a single score.

Eighteen chapters move from infrastructure to human capital, economics, industry, measurement and scenarios, while distinguishing established facts, estimates, plausible hypotheses and open questions.

What the book refuses

  • Reducing sovereignty to data location or a marketing label.
  • Confusing political ambition with already established empirical proof.
  • Presenting a single score as a sufficient measure of digital autonomy.
  • Hiding limits: total costs, control inventories, still-partial reversibility.
