Humm no. OVH is French, OVH US is not, both are two different subsidiaries. In fact, you cannot order OVH US infrastructures with a European OVH account, you need to create a US account.
So essentially like AWS' European setup?
It's AWS. Would it not still be subject to the CLOUD act? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act Seems like a lot of work to still have data that can be exfiltrated by the US.
The point of setting it up as a German legal entity with US AWS having no special access is to avoid that. All the relevant part of the CLOUD Act does is make it so when a US legal entity is asked to provide data that it controls it doesn't matter where it has stored that data. For example suppose I run an online forum. I decide to archive some records to cloud storage and remove my local copies. I archive some of th…
Its really not that different from China. Every American will always cooperate like a good little patriot. I don't even blame them for it that is how they are brought up.

Correct, this is meaningless. It's purely to provide a facade for companies and countries who are still fully in bed with US big tech, so they have something to point at and can delay the inevitable for longer. Another goal with this is to muddy the waters on the word "sovereign" in relation to tech e.g. "cloud". This is a big reason why they've chosen this exact name.

Ofcourse the real issue that every American is a potential CIA spy. We know this from history. Its really not that different from China. Every American will always cooperate like a good little patriot. I don't even blame them for it that is how they are brought up.
