(Yes, I’m avoiding a hot take on the bigger headline.)
Four hot takes on one story that caught my eye on Tuesday.
☁️ + 🗺️ If you can imagine what data sovereignty looks like in 2025, try to imagine a fully balkanized hybrid cloud that is inextricably tied to a landmass by law.
☁️ + 📡 Next, try to imagine a hybrid cloud data center 1st tier primary / backup that is 20-40 milliseconds away.
☁️ + 🛰️ Next, try to imagine a hybrid cloud data center 2nd tier primary / backup that is 500-700 milliseconds away.
☁️ + 🌕 Now, try to imagine a hybrid cloud data center 3rd tier primary / backup that is 2-3 seconds away and tidally locked to Earth.
