How Will IPCEI-CIS Redefine Open Source in the EU?

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

IPCEI-CIS mobilizes €1.2 billion from 12 member states and about 100 companies to build an interoperable, openly accessible European data processing ecosystem that aggregates hyperscaler data centers, private clouds and local sites into a managed Edge continuum. The project targets 10,000 edge nodes, delivers an orchestration/abstraction layer (reuse of OpenNebula and other OSS), releases most components as open source, and aims for an initial integrated prototype by end of 2024.
