Cloud services in Software & AI: articles, explanations and technology developments with context and verified sources.
Google unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash at I/O 2026 and said enterprise customers could access its innovations through Gemini Enterprise and Workspace. Official documentation does not confirm that the model runs continuously on dedicated virtual machines; it does describe other access channels and evaluation figures, which are not a guarantee of production performance.
The European Commission has published non-binding model contractual terms to facilitate the application of the Data Act. We analyze their scope, their relationship with major cloud providers' policies, and practical limitations for businesses.
Available sources provide forecasts and general guides, but no dated statement from a provider allowing a news report on a specific cloud service novelty.
Retention, training and privacy controls are separate issues. This guide explains what to review in each service’s documentation before sending your own information.
The Data Act includes rules intended to facilitate switching between data processing services. Its scope and timetable depend on the specific provisions: read the legal text and distinguish entry into force from actual application.
In November 2025, the European Commission published voluntary contractual clauses for cloud services and data access. They are tools to support the Data Act framework, not an automatic obligation or a guarantee that switching providers will be straightforward.
The European Data Act establishes obligations to make switching between data processing services easier. Here is what the law says, what it does not guarantee and what to check before migrating.
On 25 June 2026, the European Commission announced its preliminary position: Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure should be designated as gatekeepers for their cloud computing services under the Digital Markets Act. This is not a final decision and does not, by itself, mean an immediate change to the services.
The documentation reviewed does not establish a recent development that would justify treating cloud portability as news. It does, however, help explain what evidence to gather about export, costs and dependencies before considering a move.
The EU Data Act covers switching between data-processing service providers. The Commission confirms that the law is now applicable, but the available information does not allow every obligation, exception and contractual condition to be detailed here.
Before signing up—and before cancelling—find out which data you can export, in what format, and what terms apply when you leave. A small-scale test can reveal dependencies that a clause alone cannot.
