- Cloud-native developers need managed services, not just rented servers.
- Services like AWS Cognito, Azure AD B2C, and Google Identity Platform provide ready-made solutions for sign-up and secure login.
- European hosting providers often advertise 'cloud' but only offer basic server rentals, akin to selling wood while customers want furniture.
- Many European providers lack understanding of cloud-native services and deny their value.
- Cloud users benefit from rapid deployment of complex systems, though costs and control can be issues.
- Organizations like SIDN need to relearn self-reliance with basic infrastructure to avoid dependence on American tech.
- Smaller hosting companies cannot easily replicate competitive cloud services due to complexity and resource demands.
- European providers should collaborate to build high-level services, leveraging their strengths in server management.
