You can’t build sovereign infrastructure with Broadcom, says CISPE

▤ Summary

CISPE argues that Broadcom cannot underpin Europe’s sovereign cloud ambitions with VMware Cloud Foundation. The group says the software is proprietary, insufficiently portable, and too tightly controlled by a foreign vendor to meet sovereignty requirements. CISPE also ties its criticism to the EU’s new Cloud and AI Development Act, saying Broadcom would fall short of the framework’s expectations. The article highlights ongoing friction between CISPE and Broadcom, including past opposition to the Broadcom-VMware merger and concerns about vendor lock-in.
