X : Thoughts on a UK cloud?
Me : AWS and others have availability zones here.
X : To encourage a cloud industry?
Me : You do that by building on top of existing components not by rebuilding them.
X : Supply chain security?
Me : Assumes you know what your supply chain is ...

... which most don't. Secondly, we live in a connected world unless you're planning on putting up barriers to everything? Why do you ask?
X : Thinking about a UK Gov cloud effort.
Me : Lol. There's no-one left in UK Gov who is that daft. We got rid of them ages ago. Unless ...

X : Unless? You mean there's a reason?
Me : No. I mean "unless" the idiots have sneaked back into positions of power again. It's possible. It would be monumentally daft. You are joking aren't you?
X : I've heard some arguments in favour.
Me : Build our own AWS? God help us ...

Me : .... though I did hear a rumour that we invested in One Web (LEO satelittes) because we needed GPS (not LEO). I thought people were just being unkind as no-one is that daft. I suspect talk of growing our own cloud industry is just idle chatter. No-one is that daft.
X : Supporting data sovereignty?
Me : Self sufficient in bananas yet? Maybe someone missed the lessons on global supply chains and necessity for competition? Though I must admit, when it comes to issues of sovereignty (whether physical or data) then having a map is useful.

X : It ain't silly, if you do it with #OpenShift.
Me : What a quip. Thank you. I haven't laughed this hard for ages. I can sort of imagine someone trying to flog that. Seriously though, unless they've all sneaked in by the backdoor, there was no-one that daft left in Gov.

X : Is this the point when I say "world class"
Me : Oh dear. A British cloud for British people? With JAM leaving then hopefully a stronger spend control will put an end to any such nonsense.

X : You say "No-one is that daft" a lot.
Me : I suppose subconsciously that I'm repeating it in the hope that it'll be true.
X : You mean there are people that daft?
Me : There always is. A general rule of IT is that if you can't see the mug then you are the mug.
