With multi-cloud technology, edge computing, serverless, distributed, and automated clouds, the next 10 years will see a boom in increasingly complex and sophisticated cloud computing technologies and the associated rise of an industrial ecosystem that will continue to grow and gain structure. Europe is however significantly behind in cloud computing technologies, with a vast majority of cloud computing players non-European. This imbalance makes Europe industrially and economically dependent, and is exacerbated by the risk of «vendor lock-in» related to the dominance of a few American providers. Above all, given the lack of an acceptable legal framework for the transatlantic exchange of data, some citizen and business assets , including sensitive data, is subject to a series of extra-territorial laws such as the Cloud Act. If Europe does not take action, the very idea of trust in the cloud will remain an illusion. If Europe does not take action, the Cloud Revolution will take place without it. If it wants to stay in the race, Europe needs to focus on the right issues: industrial policy, funding for research, and support for innovation. The Digital Market Act has opened the way; what should the next steps be? Can Europe find its place in the Cloud Revolution? What assets can it leverage? What obstacles must it overcome? Can it hope to position itself as a key player in the cloud computing industry?
