Digital Sovereignty - Why Open Infrastructure Matters
summary
Claim: digital sovereignty needs open, modular commodity layers rather than vendor-locked centralized clouds. GAIA‑X proposes a federated catalog of service self‑descriptions; the implemented option is the sovereign cloud stack built from Ceph, OpenStack, Kubernetes and ops tooling with identity federation and certifiable standards. Code is public and deployments are automated — SCS deploys in 60–90 minutes on existing OpenStack and runs on 6+ providers with two physical sites; Kubernetes lifecycle standardization remains unresolved.
