Delos Cloud is a subsidiary of SAP while Bleu is a French cloud services company launched in 2024 as a joint venture between Orange and Capgemini, in partnership with Microsoft."

Customers that Microsoft could no longer serve would have the option to migrate workloads to Delos Cloud as a nationally-operated cloud platform. Delos Cloud obtains the legal right to access and use the necessary Microsoft cloud software code to support those customers in such emergency situations."
