Panel Discussion: NeoNephos: Building an Open Source Foundation for Europe's Digital Future
Panelat Open Source Summit Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-08-27· at 14:10· D203 (Elicium Level 2)·
summary
NeoNephos sets out to build a multi-provider cloud-edge continuum funded under an IPS grant (roughly 50/50 public/private through 2028) by incubating projects like Gardener, Katalis and a Platform Mesh that expose kubectl-style APIs across providers. Concrete wins: a Gardener-based failover proved cross-provider survivability for disaster scenarios, a donated Linux distro plus Nvidia GPU Operator enables on-demand GPU/AI stacks, and multiple production deployments in Europe already run mission-critical workloads.
