It's impossible to say because unfortunately the article doesn't actually say anything about what the hell they're claiming to build.

Is 20B enough to offer a competitor to AWS? Not a chance in hell. But that specifically say that's not what they're offering.

The only other meaning I can assign to "cloud" is IT infrastructure. I think you can easily compete with Google Workspace for 20B. But I think that's probably not what they meant, I think they just meant "here are some buzzwords and a big number, please write an article about us".

(The other meaning for "cloud" that you can obviously build for 20B is something like Hetzner. But... We already have that).

Anyway, there are obviously pretty serious things you can build for 20B and it's probably good if we try to build some of them in Europe...
