### AI overview

This opinion article compares ITIL practices with SRE operations at hyperscaler scale. It argues that human change boards, single production instances, developer-to-operations handoffs, documentation-first configuration management, and weekly release windows do not fit environments serving millions of external customers. It describes automated approvals, gradual deployments, service-team ownership, infrastructure as code, continuous release, error budgets, SLOs, and blameless postmortems as alternatives.

### Source excerpt

The big clouds don't run ITIL. Five assumptions ITIL makes that break at hyperscaler scale, and what AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI use instead.

### AI overview

This Dutch reflection examines the Netherlands' and Europe's dependence on cloud services and the challenge of digital autonomy. It discusses a meeting at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, SIDN's plan to use Amazon-managed technology, and the limited availability of comparable European cloud services. The author notes that this is a personal reflection rather than a set of conclusions from the meeting.

### Source excerpt

Op 27 maart was er een mooi gesprek over de Nederlandse en Europese afhankelijkheid van "de cloud". Het gesprek vond plaats op het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat, en deelnemers waren onder andere minister Micky Adriaansens en staatssecretaris van digitalisering Alexandra van Huffelen. Het onderwerp wordt dus (terecht) serieus genomen. Dit artikel is onderdeel van een grotendeels Engelstalige reeks over Europese innovatie en digitale afhankelijkheden. De bijeenkomst werd gehouden onder Chatham House Rule, wat inhoudt dat we niet gaan verklappen wie precies wat heeft gezegd.

### AI overview

This opinion article argues that Europe depends on major non-European hyperscaler cloud providers and cannot realistically create a competing mega-cloud through legislation, standardisation, procurement, or coordinated government action. It suggests that specialized European email, communication, and collaboration services could provide a more feasible starting point for a European cloud ecosystem.

### Source excerpt

This article is part of a series on (European) innovation and capabilities. The very short version: All of computing is moving to the cloud at a rapid pace, including (government) parts you might want to keep under your own control Europe has no relevant 'hyperscaler' cloud providers at all, and there is a desire to change this by policy means Competing with the IKEA-concept is nearly impossible. Offering IKEA-like products but then with a smaller range is not an attractive proposition.
