Sovereignty just moved into the Netherlands. Europe's cloud map is getting redrawn.   Best of LinkedIn - Cloud Insights CW 21/22 rounds up 70 posts and 32 new voices, and reading through them, what stood out to us is how often sovereignty came up first, ahead of price or performance.   Here's what defined this edition:   Sovereign cloud has climbed from the IT backlog to the board agenda   Regulated buyers want control over their data before they think about scaling   Where data lives now weighs as much as how fast it runs or what it costs   Open-source stacks are showing up in serious procurement conversations   BSI C5, resilience and governance are turning into shortlisting criteria.   Featured read: Bernd (Bernie) Wagner on STACKIT's KPN partnership bringing sovereign European cloud to the Netherlands.   To everyone whose thinking made this edition, thank you. Have a good read.
