Putin required data centers to reserve capacity for state information resources Putin signed a decree requiring data centers to reserve 10% of their space and capacity. The new measure was adopted in response to "unfriendly" actions by foreign countries. Data center owners must allocate the specified volume within ten days. The distribution of the reserved resources will be under the control of a special government subcommittee. The maximum cost of such services is subject to government restrictions. Temporary use of computing power outside the country is permitted only by decision of the subcommittee and in agreement with the Federal Security Service.
