summary
Dutch government is building a shared, multi-tenant container platform spanning four sovereign data centers to serve about eight ministries, using Kubernetes as the abstraction layer with GitOps workflows, image signing and scanning, and policy enforcement via OPA/Kyverno. Design mandates policy-as-code, tenant-scoped namespaces/RBAC/quotas, and automated CI/CD pipelines to meet EU digital sovereignty and audit requirements. Prototype work is underway; goal is production-grade, auditable platform rather than a vendor-locked product.
