Recent sanctions imposed by the EU on Nayara Energy due to its Russian ownership have led to Microsoft suspending their access to cloud services like Teams and Outlook. This situation highlights the tension between compliance with geopolitical sanctions and the operational needs of multinational companies. The actions taken by Microsoft indicate a lack of trust from businesses outside the U.S. in public cloud providers, contributing to a trend towards sovereign and private cloud solutions as alternatives for reliable service and data sovereignty.
"Trust in public cloud providers is being eroded, especially among businesses operating outside the United States, and driving a growing movement toward sovereign and private cloud solutions."
"Microsoft acted as an enforcer of the EU sanctions, cutting off a customer from cloud services it had paid for."
