im desperately trying to extract double quoted and non-quoted words from following string (Please note the single quotes around):
'"Cloud Technology" Foundation "Board"'
Desired groups are:
- “Cloud Technology”
- Foundation
- “Board”
I came up with this pattern (?:"(.*?)")|(?:s(S*?)s)
have a look in regex101.com
But the pattern doesnt works if the string would be for example '"Cloud Technology" Foundation'

You can use
console.log(`'"Cloud Technology" Foundation "Board"'`.match(/"[^"]+"|[^s']+/g))
See the regex demo. Details:
"[^"]+"
–"
, zero or more chars other than"
and then a"
char|
– or[^s']+
– one or more chars other than whitespace and'
chars.
