Sovereign Cloud and Open Source: The Future of Cloud Computing
summary
European cloud market remains dominated by US hyperscalers (~70% market share) while the largest European provider holds under 2%, so a cluster of Horizon Europe projects aims to build a real alternative. Cognit combines AI, automation and portability with a €3.3 billion public‑private budget to run edge use cases (smart cities in Malaga with AISA and Telefónica, wildfire detection in Calabria with Nature 4.0, cybersecurity with Setic and SUS) using OpenNebula on the virtualization layer and a federated testbed across Slovenia, Croatia, Germany, Poland, Netherlands and Spain to avoid vendor lock‑in. 3.3 billion euros
