Also energy prices are such a dumb argument not to build data centers in Europe. Where does he think aws-eu-west 1-3 get their energy from?
AWS restricts data center access in Ireland amid power concerns - report
AWS is reportedly restricting the number of resources users can access in Ireland amid ongoing concerns about the amount of power consumed by the nation’s data centers.
Amazon’s cloud platform is periodically limiting access to its Ireland-based eu-west-1 region, according to a report in The Register. Energy-intensive instances, such as those where GPUs are deployed to run AI workloads, are said to be particularly impacted by the restrictions.
It does sound like more generation capacity is required, regardless.
