Bruno Retailleau: Excluding from core sovereign functions the clouds operated in France under license from a non-European hyperscaler
Proposal put forward by Bruno Retailleau on July 7, 2026. Topic: Sovereign Hosting and Moratorium. The observatory also publishes quotes from 12 other public figures on this topic.
A cloud operated in France under license from an American hyperscaler reduces the risk without eliminating it, because the technological dependency remains upstream. For core sovereign functions, the sovereignty percentage will make it possible to rule out these intermediate solutions wherever control must be total.
Original quote (French)
Un cloud exploité en France sous licence d’un hyperscaler américain réduit le risque sans le supprimer, car la dépendance technologique demeure en amont. Pour le cœur régalien, le pourcentage de souveraineté permettra d’écarter ces solutions intermédiaires là où la maîtrise doit être totale.Source: avecretailleau.fr · archived copy
