Study: increasing interoperability between different cloud providers is important. A few key takeaways ⤵️
There is a lack of interoperability between different cloud providers, and their services. Users cannot freely choose a service they want, and it is difficult for newcomers to enter the market, hence dampening innovation. Therefore..
The Data Act should distinguish data portability and interoperability. APIs need to be publicly available, so that cloud providers know the specifics.
Different service types should be able to communicate with each other. Requirements for standards need to apply more broadly, not only to services of the same service type.
Lock-in effects makes switching of users between cloud providers difficult. The financial barriers: tariff structures & fees used to transfer data from one cloud provider to another. We need lower egress fees, only specific costs incurred for interoperability should be charged.
Following the @BERECeuropaeu opinion on strengthening independence of enforcing bodies, effective coordination of national and/or EU oversight on cloud services deserves needs to be considered.
