counterpoint: not everyone needs a hyperscaler. Especially with open source like Kubernetes out there. Of course the more experience companies have managing it, better the service becomes. But I don't see why it can't happen within EU.

K8s is an orchestration tool. You still need someone managing the physical hardware, and do it realiably at scale. That's what a hyperscaler does.

I do understand that, my point was that the pieces needed to provide it as a managed service are much easier to come up with in comparison to what AWS had to do with Fargate.

dude, EU is home for around 500 million people. (correct me if I'm wrong). EU definitely needs a hyperscaler. Every single one of these people will need a digital identity along with their compute rights.

wouldn't it work with 100 not-so-hyper scalers as well though? It does not have to be AWS, GCP, Azure.
