The CEO of SAP, Europe's most valuable company, believes it is pointless for Europe to build its own data centers to compete with the large American cloud
What do you mean? You think Amazon has all those AWS data centres in Europe just for themselves? You think Hetzner/OVH/Scaleway/… operate data centres just for the joy of it without having any customers? There are loads of companies in Europe you’ve never heard about, doing stuff you didn’t think was a thing at all.
They’re not used to a country with commercial competition. They think only giant companies can exist and it’s inevitable everything eats each other, because their government has no regulations, so cut them done slack I suppose.
I would’t call them cloud data centers. Those existing European data centers can’t be what the CEO is talking about when he is speaking of development.
Competition to cloud services like AWS lambda and such doesn’t exist. That’s what has to be developed and established in the market.
How did we manage before cars or smartphones? AWS lambda may not be that useful but it’s only an example. The difference is the entire collection of cloud services.

Oh no, no competition to vendor lock-in, how did we manage before that?

Serverless Functions is a scam anyway.
