Using European Open Source to build a Sovereign Multi-Cloud
summary
European projects commit €2,000M+ through IPCEI-CIS to assemble open source stacks for cloud and edge, with about 100 companies in the first phase and a claimed €11,000M investment gap versus US/China. A concrete build is the Cognit framework (2022–2025) that uses AI to automate offload and placement across VMs and Kubernetes at the edge, and OpenNebula (version 6.8, 5,000 active clouds milestone) supplies virtualization, a marketplace and Terraform/provider integrations to avoid vendor lock‑in. Early stage, underway.
