> The aerospace manufacturer...now wants to move key on-premises applications...to the cloud.

most of the discourse here is missing the point. it is not to migrate a cloud resource away from (assumed) US-based services, but rather moving to the cloud for core services.

now "sovereign" is the hot word in these parts, and of course it would be a priority. but if it ends up running American HW/SW, is it really being independent? regardless, the article also mentions Google workspace, which is not in the scope of migration.

regardless of which part of the fence one is in, things are easier said than done especially when IT services is a cost to the company rather than revenue stream.
