What is happening? Lidl us in the cloud business? Since when? Next thing I will find is Parkside has a cloud sync client...

Basically the existing cloud systems didn't meet their requirements, so it ended up cheaper for them to build their own rather than get consultants to config a 3rd party solution.

And now that they had an inhouse team, might as well use them to make money, no?

Isnโ€™t it literally how Amazon Web Services started?

I thought Amazon started with books

For a long time. I think they were some of the first to do it actually.

JPEGs are 50% off this week!

50% price reduction or 50% pixel loss?

Man, I hope they're using OpenStack and aren't just another proprietary cloud platform...

Isn't the company called StackIT?

A step ahead, but better to ditch relying on corpo altogether, and have an independent, own host.

The fact that the transition to European alternatives does not always go smoothly is evident in Schleswig-Holstein, where the local government is already struggling with the migration from Microsoft to an open-source environment.

Really? Not from what I've read. Who owns this tabloid? Some USAian?
