Und was heißt das nun genau für zb die Auszahlungsysteme d Bundesagentur für Arbeit und SAP (Delos Tochter von SAP nutzt MS Cloud)?
Oder für die ganzen Multi-Cloud-Projekte d dt Behörden, Sozialversicherungen u Kommunen? Wird MS aus den Cloud-Broker-Portalen rausgenommen?

Das kann uns in Dt nicht passieren.

Ergänzende Rahmenverträge zur DVC mit Multi-Cloud-Brokern wie BTC (Nutzung Amazon, Meta, Google Cloud Dienste) aushandeln u Bundesbehörden wie BA sind dann nur "Beschaffer", während andere zb govdigital eG Vertragspartner sind.

Cloudarchitektur aus der Hölle.
